It looks like numpy tries to add a DEFAULT section in the site.cfgconfiguration
file, which seems now forbidden in Python 2.6 ConfigParser (reserved
section).

...
        if section.lower() == "default":
            raise ValueError, 'Invalid section name: %s' % section
...

So I'd say that numpy (I don't know this lib) is not compatible with 2.6 yet
(it works in 2.5)
