First, it looks like you are mixing Python 2.1 packages with Python 2.2 or something. > E:\PPMPackages\PyPPM\2.1 to my local hard drive for convenience/speed. Tried ^^^ > PPM>install c:\python22\ppd\Numeric.ppd ^^ > ERROR: can not access the specified URL: [Errno socket error] (10054, > 'Connection reset by peer') Hrm. PyPPM may still, unnecessarily depend on being able to open a socket even though you are installing a local package. You could just work around this problem by trying this: - Open the .ppd in your editor. It is an XML file that describes where to find the actual package file (the <CODEBASE> tags). This should indicate where in the PyPPM\2.1\... tree to get the Windows Numeric package. Probably something like: packages/Numeric-20.2.0.win32.2.1.zip - Unzip that file in a temporary directory. - cd into the directory with a setup.py - Run this command: C:\path\to\Python21\python setup.py install --skip-build This should install Numeric for you, although this *is* a work around because PyPPM's registry of installed packages has *not* been updated to say that Numeric is installed.
