Hi, When using Python on Windows I always encounter plenty of errors which are simply frustrating. Typically issues compilation, linking, libraries which have nothing to do with functional coding in Python are numerous. Do have a look at PTVS tools how an integrated UI can work... And do try to get rid of the already for > 5 years existing BUGS like: https://pytools.codeplex.com/workitem/2808 Simply frustrating to use Python this way. J.

This seem like an issue with numpy, not python. Perhaps installing using binary would be a better option for you? In any case, this need further elaborating at what the actual problem and the solution could be.

Note also that there are going to be significant improvements in the Python Windows build system for 3.5. Any further (specific, non-distutils) requests for improvement should be targeted against that version once issue 22919 has been integrated. Please do open a new issue with *specific* problems if they are problems with the CPython compile itself or with distutils, as opposed to problems with a specific 3rd party project's compilation instructions...the latter should be reported to the 3rd party project first, and if the project determines it is rooted in a problem with CPython/distutils, it can then be reported upstream here with sufficient details for us to take action.
