Comment:

 I don't think this will happen soon. The issue is that numpy + scipy can
 not be built with a free tool chain for 64-bit Windows. David Cournapeau
 has described his efforts to make this work in several blog posts.

 Both the unofficial binaries by Christoph Gohlke and Enthought EPD are
 perfectly fine options if you want numpy/scipy on 64-bit Windows anyway
 (both use MKL if I remember correctly).

 Since this is not actually an issue with the provided binaries (unless I'm
 misunderstanding the issue and you're using 32-bit Python), I'm changing
 this to an enhancement request with low priority.

 BTW, don't understand your fall-through option. What's the point of
 installing, and where would you install to, if Python itself is not found?
