<p dir="auto">After installing python binary<br>
<strong>python-2.7.1.amd64.msi</strong> from python.org<br>
the install of<br>
<strong>numpy-1.5.0-win32-superpack-python2.7.exe</strong><br>
fails with error:''<br>
Python 2.7 required, which was not found in the registry.''</p>
<p dir="auto">Reinstalling python, using different versions of python etc. does not help.<br>
Python runs fine.<br>
(Is this the right place to report this?)</p>

<p dir="auto">When installing numpy-1.5.0-win32-superpack-python2.7  on windows7 64 bit, the installer can not find python2.7 in the registry.</p>
<p dir="auto">Its a know problem with the distutils installer.<br>

<p dir="auto">Need to have a separate 64 bit windows installer or look for the additional registry entries to find the install location or have a fall through that allows a user to still install even if it doesn't find python 2.7.</p>
<p dir="auto">PyQt v4.7.7 uses the fall through option.<br>
wxpython has a separate installer</p>
<p dir="auto">Someone provides unofficial numpy (and scipy) binaries here   <a href="http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/</a><br>
but I'd much prefer using an official package (if possible)</p>
