[Numpy-discussion] [SciPy-Dev] Setting up a dev environment with conda

[Luke Zoltan Kelley]

I tried cleaning the git dir, and trying again.  It still didn't work giving me the report:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_scripts.test_f2py

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 6029 tests in 82.132s

FAILED (KNOWNFAIL=6, SKIP=10, errors=2)

f2py itself did seem to work fine from the command-line...

I did get things (seemingly) working, by cleaning the dir again, and then running:

	python setupegg.py develop --user

This built properly, and now lets me make modification to the source files and have them take effect immediately.  This is really all I need for now, but I will try to get the `./runtests.py` working for the future.  Perhaps the problem is something to do with my previous python environment installed via macports...
