Yes, you're right. To build scipy, we need numpy, though :) The good
news is that we worked on making sure scipy 0.7 moistly works with
python 2.6, using numpy svn.

Yes.

No, this is correct. Python "minor" (2.5 vs 2.6) releases are not
backward compatible. On windows, a check is done as to avoid
installing a python 2.6 binary in python 2.5.
