upgrading to scipy 0.3.2
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a66dfaa25e9346c5c071b04395c69044.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I have installed scipy 0.3 and want to upgrade to scipy 0.3.2. I used 'python setup.py install' command to install scipy 0.3 and its prerequisites. Should i use the same command 'python setup.py install' to scipy_core 0.3.2 and scipy 0.3.2 to upgrade or something else is also needed? I am working with fedora core 2 and python 2.3.4. Thanks in advance Manoj

In addition to what Pearu wrote, I would also suggest removing the old installed package directories before installing the new ones. Or at least move them to a backup location until you test the new installation. -- Robert Kern rkern@ucsd.edu "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter

Yes, 'python setup.py install' should be sufficient provided that scipy prerequisities (f2py, Numeric, atlas or blas/lapack libraries) are installed and probably they are since you had installed scipy 0.3 already. Pearu
