Hi Toby, alright, some progress here: Installed Python, the Windows SDK, and NumPy as described. Then things got complicated: - Had to install setuptools. This should be mentioned in the README. - python and git need to be in PATH for `python setup.py build` to work. This is a nontrivial step, since both python and git by default are not in PATH. - Currently I'm stuck with an error at `python setup.py build`. I copied that over to GitHub, as I don't write emails from the Windows machine: https://github.com/viennacl/pyviennacl-dev/issues/2#issuecomment-36299966

Our test machine running Mac OS X 10.6 has a pretty buggy OpenCL SDK, so it may be the same thing there. On the other hand, it's better to produce slow code rather than crashing a user's machine. Do you happen to know which version of Mac OS this was?
