Actually, Numpy 1.3 is available and does work with Python 2.6, in case you want to upgrade:
C:\Users\Shawn>python

The Numpy SourceForge download page has the 2.6 installer: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=175103 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&#...
That said, I'd like to take a moment to express my frustration with installing or compiling PyGtkGLExt ( http://gtkglext.sourceforge.net/ http://gtkglext.sourceforge.net/ ) on Windows with Python 2.6. The only installers I've found for PyGtkGLExt are for Python 2.4 ( http://www.stephanebrunet.net/gtkglext/pygtkglext-1.1.0.win32-py2.4.exe http://www.stephanebrunet.net/gtkglext/pygtkglext-1.1.0.win3... ) and Python 2.5 ( http://www.stephanebrunet.net/gtkglext/pygtkglext-1.1.0.win32-py2.5.exe http://www.stephanebrunet.net/gtkglext/pygtkglext-1.1.0.win3... ). Building it from source seems like a daunting task. Various build system utilities have to be installed first, such as MingW + MSYS, and pkg-config (which seems incredibly difficult to set up correctly on Windows). Also, it appears that the default maketools installed with MingW are too out-of-date to be used to build it. So far, upgrading MingW's autoconf / m4 / other tools is proving to be difficult at best. So at this point I'm planning to downgrade from Python 2.6 to 2.5 to save time, since it's basically impossible for non-ninjas to install or build PyGtkGLExt on Windows. I guess sticking with older versions is sometimes beneficial...
