python为什么numpy找不到,numpy python 3.4.1：在注册表中找不到Python 3.4

I want to plot few graphs with matplotlib and I have a windows machine Firstly I need to install, so I download the file from http://matplotlib.org/downloads.html . Well, when I tried to run, it throws a pop up saying it failed to find the version 3.4 in registry. This is a bit strange because my python version is 3.4.1.

Of course, I did search through the forum. I happened to look into numpy python 3.4.1 installation: Python 3.4 not found in registry which is same as my problem. but my first question:

1) The matplotlib official page gives me a direct link to install ".exe" for windows with python version 3.4. If this is true then why this problem should occur in the first place.

2) My second question, how one can actually find whether the downloading package version is the right match for the current python version installed on local PC.

The windows .exe installer should work for all sub-versions of a given Python installation, this means that if you use the 3.4 installer it should work for 3.4.0, 3.4.1, and 3.4.2.

You need to check that you are using the correct version of the installer, 32-bit or 64-bit. The installer should match the Python version you are using, which may or may not match your system version. This is to say that if you had a 64-bit system and used 32-bit Python, you should use the 32-bit installer.

If it still doesn't work, I'd suggest you re-install Python and try again, it's possible that something has messed with your registry settings.

Originally I thought that the sub-version mattered, but in fact it does not. I raised an issue with matplotlib here and was corrected by Christoph Gohlke who maintains the .exe installations.

Incidentally (for someone reading this in the future as you know yours) if you need to find your current Python version you can simply type python -V in the command line and it'll return the details, for example mine returns:

Python 3.4.0
