 Priority:  normal  |   Milestone:  Unscheduled
Component:  Other   |     Version:  1.6.1      
 Keywords:          |

 When building various packages which use numpy,

 distutils\version.py raises
 ValueError: invalid version number '4.'

 This can be fixed by editing ~/Python27/Lib/site-
 packages/numpy/distutils/mingw32ccompiler.py

 and replacing the two instances of "4." with "4.0.0"

 they are located on lines 107 and 127

 then packages will build correctly
