You didn't really need to attach a whole file, you could have
linked to our repository or quoted the bit of interest.

What OS are you using? Some flavour of Linux?

What version of NumPy do you have, and how was it installed?

What command did you use to attempt the install, and what
error message did you get.

Have you tried the --prefix argument?

e.g.

python setup.py build
python setup.py test
python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME
