There are probably unofficial third-party sites where you can get it, but if you're going to go down that route, you'd do better to just grab a third-party Numpy binary and save yourself the trouble. It's also possible to get a different compiler and build your own Python and extensions. But that's going to be a lot of work, too. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
