Robert, Josef,
   are you saying that mac users shouldn't expect
numpy-1.4.0-py2.6-python.org.dmg
scipy-0.7.1-py2.6-python.org.dmg
to "just work" together, download and go ?
If not, then the download pages should clearly say "... may not work with ..."
(If they weren't tested together, that's imho a problem in the process;
I realize that testing is hard work, no glory.)

cheers
