Usin python 2.4.2 and latest SVN version I get the following: line 422, in test suites.extend(self._get_module_tests(module, abs(level), verbosity)) File "/.../lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/testing/numpytest.py", line 355, in _get_module_tests self.warn('FAILURE importing tests for %s' % (mstr(module))) File "/.../lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/testing/numpytest.py", line 469, in warn from numpy.distutils.misc_util import yellow_text File "/.../lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/distutils/__init__.py", line 5, in ? import ccompiler File "/.../lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/distutils/ccompiler.py", line 12, in ? from exec_command import exec_command File "/.../lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/distutils/exec_command.py", line 54, in ? import tempfile File "/.../lib/python2.4/tempfile.py", line 33, in ? from random import Random as _Random ImportError: cannot import name Random Does anyone see the same?
