Is there a trick to installing scipy on windows7 without admin rights and on a standard Python 3.3?

I went all the way to MinGW, but fell apart at the fortran stuff.

The default python path is `c:\python2.7`. I would install a new python in your home directory then edit your $PYTHONPATH (or windows equivalent) to point to that directory.

Then, I'd use `pip install numpy scipy` (since numpy is a scipy dependency).

the pip install scipy fails with:

numpy.distutils.system_info.BlasNotFoundError: Blas (http://www.netlib.org/blas/) libraries not found. Directories to search for the libraries can be specifies in the numpy/distutils/site.cfg file (section [blas]) or by setting the BLAS environment variable.

I know this isn't stackoverflow, so no further info needed.

Needless to say, going down the netlib.org/blas/ is quite brutal on windows...
