I think you are misunderstanding my suggestion - it would be strictly equivalent to installing an egg, because easy_install can build an egg from the .exe automatically. Numpy is installed as an egg from the .exe if you use easy_install. In particular you can use parallel multi-versions. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
