I can toss-in a box of donuts if that would help,
I believe they are working on it, but they're shifting their approach to easily install the individual packages of the distribution individually/together/whatever by using eggs. It's good for the long term, but I guess unfortunate for people looking for the newest/ easiest install in the interim. Still, though, I think I've heard people still having some success by just installing the latest enthought edition. After that, you can pull down numpy/scipy/matplotlib from svn and install each over the old version in enthought. Lastly, Stef Mientki has apparently whipped up a "Portable SciPy" that is meant to be a one-click installer on windows if doing the above is unsatisfactory. Here's his announcement from the SciPy mailing list. """ Portable SciPy, is an easy installer of SciPy for M$ windows users. For this moment, you can find the description page, with all links here http://oase.uci.kun.nl/~mientki/data_www/pic/jalcc/python/ portable_scipy.html For future use, it's advised to always use my redirector page http://pic.flappie.nl/ The simple method described here, can be used to create any set of Python packages + other programs, with just a few lines of code (example available). have fun, and let me hear what you think of it. """" Lastly, I can't really vouch for any of these things since I don't use Windows, hopefully they work easily enough. -steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
