[Numpy-discussion] Numpy installation

[Amit Itagi]

Robert,

I followed the recommended steps. Now I have "numpy" and "
numpy-1.0.4-py2.5.egg-info" in
Python-2.5.2/lib/python2.5/site-packages. However, I am not able to import
numpy at the python prompt. Do I have to set pythonpath or something ?

Thanks

Rgds,
Amit
