i am getting errors .wat else can be done???

If you don't want to build the package, download the exe file for Windows instead.

I was assuming you're using Windows from your other posts...

It will help if you include error messages. Thanks,

The error which i am receiving while running the script(installa tion file) is:

"Using EXTRA_COMPILE_A RGS = []
Using builtin 'lite' BLAS and LAPACK
running config
error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003;
extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries.
Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed,
you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py"

Fredrik is right. It looks like you are on windows so getting the msi is probably your best bet. If you don't know about compilers, this is the only thing to do!
