Right -- so I've assumed that you have a working python and git installation; it seemed fair to assume that, if you want to install from source and want to be using Python, you'd have both set up. Also, I don't think I should be providing installation guides for components other than PyViennaCL! In particular, people's installations of Windows software vary widely, and so general instructions will either be complex or vague. Ultimately, either the user should install a prebuilt binary, or will use `pip install pyviennacl`; any other case suggests more advanced usage. pip comes with setuptools, so that dependency is automatically satisfied there; but I will mention it for completeness! > - Currently I'm stuck with an error at `python setup.py build`.

If you get a chance to test on your OS X machine, the results would be interesting to know. But I appreciate that you probably don't want to spend all your time testing PyViennaCL! :-) Cheers, Toby ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.
