Nat: numpy 1.2.x doesn't work with python 2.6. You'll either need to revert to python 2.5 or get the latest svn numpy (which still may have some python 2.6 glitches). -Jeff _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
