Wayne, The current release of Scipy doesn't work perfectly well with Numpy 1.4. On my systems (Mac OS 10.6, WinXP, and Ubuntu), I'm running Numpy 1.4 with the current Scipy on Python 2.6.4. I get the same error you describe below on the first attempt. For some reason unknown to me, it works on the second try. Switching to Numpy 1.3 is the best solution to the error. -paul From: numpy-discussion-bounces@scipy.org [mailto:numpy-discussion-bounces@scipy.org] On Behalf Of Wayne Watson Sent: Friday, March 26, 2010 5:44 PM To: numpy-discussion@scipy.org Subject: [Numpy-discussion] Why this Difference in Importing NumPy 1.2 vs 1.4? I wrote a program in Python 2.5 under Win7 and it runs fine using Numpy 1.2 , but not on a colleague's machine who has a slightly newer 2.5. We both use IDLE to execute the program. During import he gets this:

If your on windows, you can probably get rid of it through the Add/Remove Programs portion of the Conrol Panel. -- Paul Hobson Senior Staff Engineer Geosyntec Consultants Portland, OR On Mar 26, 2010, at 8:09 PM, "Wayne Watson" mailto:sierra_mtnview@sbcglobal.net> wrote: Thanks. How do I switch? Do I just pull down 1.3 or better 1.2 (I use it.), and install it? How do I (actually my colleague) somehow remove 1.4? Is it as easy as going to IDLE's path browser and removing, under site-packages, numpy? (I'm not sure that's even possible. I don't see a right-click menu.)
