If they're already installing numpy, isn't 98% of the work already  
done at that point?

I'm pretty sure you can install scipy w/o the fortran dependency if  
you're not concerned about speed and what not, right? It should be a  
pretty easy install.

Besides ... what else do they have to do during the first week-and-a- 
half of the semester anyway, right? ;-)
