Newbie trying to install NumPy
Hello, I've been trying to install NumPy to run with Eclipse on Windows Vista. After installing (I thought) NumPy I was seeing: ImportError: Error importing numpy: you should not try to import numpy from its source directory; please exit the numpy source tree, and relaunch your python intepreter from there. I next tried to follow the instructions from the scipy.org website and downloaded and ran: numpy-1.7.1-win32-superpack-python27.exe This started up but I immediately saw the following dialog: --------------------------- Cannot install --------------------------- Python version 2.7 required, which was not found in the registry. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- The next dialog prompted for a Python installation to use but the list box was empty and it would not allow me to enter a path. Is it absolutely necessary to build NumPy myself or is there a working installation out there? I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what it is. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated :). Thanks, Joseph A. Piccoli joe13676@comcast.net
Hello Joe, I am not familiar with windows, but I believe that the Python(x,y) is here to help you : http://code.google.com/p/pythonxy/ HTH, Johann On 05/18/2013 07:11 AM, Joe Piccoli wrote:

You probably have a different version installed. Grab Python 2.7 from python.org and install it; then, run the numpy installer. It should just work out of the box.

Make sure you match 32/64 bit. The message is a bit out of date, you'll get the same error if you try to install a 32 bit numpy and have a 64 bit python. -Chris
