  • This page provides 32- and 64-bit Windows binaries of many scientific open-source extension packages for the official CPython distribution of the Python programming language.

    … Most binaries are built from source code found on PyPI or in the projects public revision control systems. Source code changes, if any, have been submitted to the project maintainers or are included in the packages. …

    Many binaries depend on Numpy-MKL 1.8 and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (x64, x86, and SP1 for CPython 2.6 to 3.2) or Visual C++ 2010 (x64, x86, for CPython 3.3 and 3.4) redistributable packages.
