The default python path is `c:\python2.7`. I would install a new python in your home directory then edit your $PYTHONPATH (or windows equivalent) to point to that directory. Then, I'd use `pip install numpy scipy` (since numpy is a scipy dependency).

the pip install scipy fails with: numpy.distutils.system_info.BlasNotFoundError: Blas (http://www.netlib.org/blas/ http://www.netlib.org/blas/) libraries not found. Directories to search for the libraries can be specifies in the numpy/distutils/site.cfg file (section [blas]) or by setting the BLAS environment variable. I know this isn't stackoverflow, so no further info needed. Needless to say, going down the netlib.org/blas/ is quite brutal on windows...

  Both scipy and numpy working fine here (Python 2.7.6 x64). >>> import scipy >>> scipy.test() Running unit tests for scipy NumPy version 1.8.1 NumPy is installed in C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy SciPy version 0.14.0rc2 SciPy is installed in C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy Python version 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:24) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] nose version 1.3.3 ....

Any other way is truly a nightmare. That's why I use Linux whenever possible for most of my coding.

    Yes, I did. However, as I work behind the corporate firewall, I was unable to download the .exe files on Christoph's site. I hear you on the Linux business, and that's what I use at home and elsewhere, but it's not an option at the office.
