title: install scipy on windows with easy_install
body: <p>I installed python 2.7 64bit on Windows 7. I later realized that my windows is 32 bit...</p>
  
  <pre><code>Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:24) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win
  32
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Anyway, it is still working! I also added the python installation directory in the windows path.</p>
  
  <p>Than i installed easy_install using ez_setup script. And this worked, as well</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Myname&gt;easy_install
  error: No urls, filenames, or requirements specified (see --help)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But then I am not able to install modules as Matplolib or Scipy!</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Massimo\Dropbox\Python&gt;easy_install scipy
