Hi Arvind, I am sorry to say that pysparse is having issues on Windows with python 2.6. You can check this by doing "from pysparse import precon" at the command line. It should give the same error. currently, I have been unable to do a pysparse build that I can successfully import using python 2.6 (pythonxy). Someone else put the binary on sourceforge and I'm not sure what package of python 2.6 (pythonxy, ehnthought ot just standard python) they used to build with, but it doesn't work for me either. It could be an issue with pythonxy, so my next attempt may be to try building pysparse using enthought. Unfortunately, fipy is useless without pysparse. Sorry for the bad news.
