One quick hack is to install the new numpy somewhere else and then rename the directory containing 0.9.8 to numpySTOP. Then you don't have to worry about the ordering of the path. I install in /usr/local/scipy/numpy (then it is easy to remove numpy without worrying about leaving behind any files) and then I create the file /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/addlocalpath.pth that contains the lines: /usr/local/scipy/scipy/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ /usr/local/scipy/numpy/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ Then there is no need to play with the path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
