wrong version of numpy installed with gdal-python

[monstermushroom]

Hi,

on a clean windows 32 bit build, if installing msys, gdal, gdal-python, python and python-numpy:

open msys

$ python
Python 2.7.14 (v2.7.14:84471935ed, Sep 16 2017, 20:19:30) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
>>> from osgeo import gdal
>>> from osgeo import gdalnumeric
RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0xc but this version of numpy is 0x7
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\osgeo\gdalnumeric.py", line 2, in <module>
    from osgeo.gdal_array import *
  File "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\osgeo\gdal_array.py", line 17, in <module>
    _gdal_array = swig_import_helper()
  File "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\osgeo\gdal_array.py", line 16, in swig_import_helper
    return importlib.import_module('_gdal_array')
  File "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python27\lib\importlib\__init__.py", line 37, in import_module
    __import__(name)
ImportError: No module named _gdal_array
>>> exit()

In OSGEo4w, the only option is to download python-numpy version 1.7.0, and the alternate version is 1.5, although these are very old, and the latest versions under osgeo seem to be 1.12 and 1.15.

This appears to be because the python version is included in the file names of the older packets versions on the download site, making them seem as if they are newer. ​http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/x86/release/python/python-numpy/

python-numpy-2.7-1.7.0-1.tar.bz2	28-May-2013 15:10	2.4M	   

The result of the error is that matplotlib and pandas will no longer function, since 1.7 is below their minimum versions, and also any script using gdal_calc, the gdal raster calculator, will also fail.

Is there a workaround for this? Can I make the setup look for the right version (which is probably 12?)

Thanks,

Already fixed - and only affected 32bit.
