I just build numpy and scipy from source so I do not know how you get Python 3 or which Ubuntu versions include recent numpy versions (there is a upcoming release that will probably contain a more recent numpy). It is very easy to install numpy and scipy from source on Linux although it is important that Blas/Lapack/Altas are built and installed correctly (I just use my distro's package).
Please see the following link for more details: http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/Linux There was also a recent post on the list as well.

Bruce, Thank you for the information. I had a look at the URL that you gave (Actually, I had already seen it in my wanderings on internet.) For me it is very important to hear from the users' perspective how easy or hard the installation was. Python 3 is readily available in most distros, certainly in ubuntu, so that is not a problem. In fact in ubuntu Python 2.6 happily coexists with Python 3.1 for one and the same user. Thank you for your help - greatly appreciated.
