[pymvpa] scipy problem at installation

[patrik andersson]

Hi,

I wonder if someone have the time to help me with a very basic question.
I am trying to install the pymvpa 0.4.4 version for windows but get
problems when installing scipy. I have a Vista machine with python
2.5.4 and numpy-1.4.0-win32-superpack-python2.5 etc.
Without scipy installed I get:

>>> from mvpa.suite import *
>>> mvpa.wtf()

But after installing scipy-0.7.1-win32-superpack-python2.5 I get:

>>> from mvpa.suite import *

Is there an obvious solution to this? Any help very much appreciated.
