in NumPy office website, have a Documentation talk that :
As pointed out in Installing_SciPy/BuildingGeneral, building Numpy and
Scipy requires a C compiler. Furthermore, a Fortran 77 compiler is
needed to build Scipy and to build a Lapack library for use in Numpy
and Scipy.
The MinGW project provides windows versions of the free GNU compilers
gcc and g77. These are the compilers most Scipy developers work with
and hence the compilers that are supported the best by the Scipy build
scripts.
Cygwin is a Posix compatible Linux-like environment for Windows. It is
a very useful tool as it allows to compile and use many Unix tools
without modification. We'll need it for the compilation of ATLAS. If
selected during installation, Cygwin also makes available its own
versions of the MinGW compilers (by the command line option "-mno-
cygwin" to gcc), which produce identical code. There is no need to
install the separate MinGW distribution when Cygwin is already
installed.
Scipy also supports Visual C++ (MSVC) as the C/C++ compiler (currently
only Numpy compiles without a modification). If one wants to build
extension modules for the official binary distribution of Python, the
runtime libraries have to be compatible. As the official versions of
Python 2.3/2.4/2.5 are compiled with Visual Studio 2003 (Visual Studio
7.1) and hence linked to msvcr71, this leaves only MSVC 7.1 to build
extensions for these Python versions. This pretty much excludes the
free (as in beer) Visual Studio 2005 Express, at least if one doesn't
also want to build Python (and all other extension modules) from
sources with MSVC 8 - which currently is not offically supported.
Combining MSVC with G77 from MinGW or Cygwin is supported, as is the
combination with other Fortran compilers. [Could someone say something
about Intel Fortran?]
I want compiles use vs2008,and I got error message like that:
=====================================================
No module named msvccompiler in numpy.distutils; trying from distutils

and last at Traceback message:
