Hi, The installer requires 2.5 but that is not explicitly stated. Given that numpy and scipy technically require Python 2.3 as a minimum, the installer should support Python 2.3 and Python 2.4. Otherwise, it needs to clearly state that Python 2.5 is a must.
I did install Python 2.5.2 on my WIndows XP AMD Athlon XP 2100+ system and all the tests passed.
