For future reference, when on OS X, it's very helpful to include how you installed your Python, and whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit. <snip> > I found the download adresses of scipy and numpy from official website > 'www.scipy.org'.

I believe you've installed 32-bit libraries for a 64-bit Python (or possibly vice-versa). It appears that NumPy & SciPy official releases are 32-bit-only. So, you can either use the alternate, unofficial 64-bit releases of those packages, or install a 32-bit Python (via Fink, MacPorts, a Python.org installer, etc.). A third option is to install the Enthought Python Distribution (http://www.enthought.com/products/epd.php ) or similar, which bundles Python together with SciPy, NumPy, and other libraries in a single install.
