I personally would not try to mess with Apple's python. It's safer to
leave it alone, and it is not upgrade very often.
My personal favorite option:
- install python.org's python
- install the official binary installers for numpy and matplotlib (both
of which assume python.org's python)
You can use other standard distributions of Python including:
- fink
- MacPorts
- Enthought's python distribution
most or all of these come with their own versions of numpy and
matplotlib (though in the case of fink and MacPorts you have to
explicitly install them).
