I reinstalled Python(x,y) on my Windows 7 machine. When I finished the installation I wanted to upgrade all packages using pip. But the mingw compiler gives some weird error messages. My last question could hopefully get resolved by this issue: Python: Install sip

Therefore I checked out an example online that builds C code for Python using mingw. But it failed - that might be an indication that mingw is not working as intended. I have some details if this helps anything:

mingw32-make --version 3.82.90
gcc --version 4.8.1
python --version 2.7.10

I configured Python (C:\Python27\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg) according to the qutip installation guide and https://docs.python.org/2/install/#location-and-names-of-config-files.

Issue

I want to test my mingw installation since I cannot upgrade the Python packages with pip. Please give me some tested code to check if my installation is working properly together with Python.

What is `gendef`? I do not have it... – strpeter Jan 28 '16 at 11:47
It is available here, http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Extension/gendef/gendef-1.0.1346/ . `mingw-get install gendef` might work if *mingw-get* command exists. – J.J. Hakala Jan 28 '16 at 11:56
The first one did not solve my pip problems. If you like, I can pastebin the messages. – strpeter Jan 28 '16 at 11:59
Yes, better to put those error messages somewhere. – J.J. Hakala Jan 28 '16 at 12:02
[Failed scipy upgrade](http://pastebin.com/t6Lz5XK1) - I have the impression that pip installs differently than the python(x,y) installer. – strpeter Jan 28 '16 at 13:14
