I saw that but it was about installing the SciPy Stack, whatever that 
is. The only mention of numpy there is to do with linux systems, except 
for a link near the end which takes me to that same Sourceforge site.

OK, I've done that now, and it works, thanks. Now 'import numpy' doesn't 
report an error.

(But Christ, it's massive! A 0.3GB download that took ages to install, 
and occupied 1.3GB on disk (32000 files), about 20-40 times as big as a 
normal Python install. It was also Python 2.7, which I didn't notice 
until it was too late. Presumably I must have clicked the wrong button 
at some point. I dread think how big a Python 3.x version might be!)
