I think the problem is that the message is misleading; it should be saying you need python from python.org, *not* the python that comes with OSX. (The two coexist; installing python from python.org does not interfere with OSX's use of its own python. Caveat: I don't use Mac myself, so I am basing all this on second-hand experience--helping with a numpy installation a few minutes ago--and what I remember seeing. I think there is a mailing list thread about this, but I couldn't find it.) Eric > > > I'm running a stock system with a stock python, so I'm not sure why > the test is failing.
