Hi, thank you all! This turned out more complicated than I expected. I tried installing the indicated compiler VCForPython27.msi but that didn't change anything.
On the other hand I don't want to install any special distribution of Python - I want to stick to the standard distribution to be sure my own code can run anywhere. I only need numpy to test the language guesser langid.py - as I need a guesser for sentences (a very small amount of text, making the language identification tricky). langid.py happens to be dependent on numpy. I will try some other language guesser instead. I might install Anaconda on a virtual machine to compare numpy with other solutions.
