[Numpy-discussion] SCons install fails with rev 5258

[Alan McIntyre]

I just updated my NumPy tree from svn trunk, and the SCons install now
fails with the following message:

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.:
