I just noticed this thread - if you want a great version of python that has numpy/scipy so you can be sure to have the same version, use Python XY: <a href="http://www.pythonxy.com/">http://www.pythonxy.com/</a><div><br></div>
<div>It's got a host of scientific packages such as matplotlib, numpy, and scipy. Then it has all sorts of other bells and whistles, as well.</div><div><br></div><div>HTH,</div><div>Wayne</div>
