It's certain.

That just means that you used the system Python to install ipython.
Put the /Library/Frameworks/.../bin at the front of your $PATH like I
explained before and reinstall IPython and numpy and all of the other
packages you want to use using that python executable. Double-check by
executing

$ which python
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python

No! Do not touch that! It is used by OS X.
