From the path you are probably running python.org python (though it could be ActiveState or built from source). Assuming it really is python.org, the next question is: which of the two flavors of python.org Python do you have: the "10.3" version (which is 32-bit only, but very backward compatible), or the "10.6" version (which includes 64-bit support but requires MacOS X 10.6 or later)? There is a separate numpy installer for each (and unfortunately they are not listed near each other in the file list). Maybe you got that match wrong? If in doubt you could reinstall python from python.org. -- Russell _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
