Bart, you can't blame us for your failure to do your own investigation before clicking Download. Don't you read the instructions? Anaconda installs a full-featured scientific Python stack, not just numpy. The *very first paragraph* of the download page says: "It includes over 195 of the most popular Python packages for science, math, engineering, data analysis." http://continuum.io/downloads If the installer is 300MB or so, what were you expecting the full installation to be? Further down on that same page, it describes Miniconda, which is a bare-bones installation of Python + the conda package manager only, so you can pick and choose which of those 195 packages are installed. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
