You need to install the "nose" module to run the test suite.

Hi. I've to admit that I'm quite new in python and also to numpy. I'm trying to install numpy and scypy on my mac (Mac Os X 10.6.3). I've installed the last version of python (Python 2.6.5 Mac OS X Installer Disk Image).
After than I've downloaded the latest version of numpy (numpy-1.4.1-py2.6-python.org.dmg) and finally also the latest version of scypy (scipy-0.7.2-py2.6-python.org.dmg). 
When I try the test I obtain the following errors

Python 2.6.5 (r265:79359, Mar 24 2010, 01:32:55)

>>> import numpy
>>> numpy.test('1','10')
