[Numpy-discussion] Istalling Numpy and Scipy on preinstalled Python 2.6 on Mac

[Pierre GM]

Hello,
I assume you checked that ?
http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/Mac_OS_X
You basically have everything you need there. A basic warning, though:  you don't want to overwrite Mac OS X's own numpy, but to install it either locally (in ~/.local, using python setup.install --user) or in a virtual environment (http://www.doughellmann.com/projects/virtualenvwrapper/) 
Note that virtualenvwrapper allows you to specify the version of python to use during the compilation (using the -p or --python= flag). But you could do it yourself when compiling the sources: just use `your_path_to_your_python_version setup install --user`
Let me know how it goes
