And what does this have to do with the
    """Strengths & weaknesses of Python lists compared to
    "old school" arrays [Was "Fixed Vector Array"]"""
thread?  Please don't hijack a thread by replying with an unrelated 
message.  Just start a new one with "Write email" or equivalent. 
Address it to tutor at python.org, and it'll be fine.

As others have said, you probably have a version mismatch.  When you ran 
Python from the terminal, what did you call it?  Which version did you get?

When you ran idle3, you presumably ran some version 3 installation of 
Python.

 From each interactive session, you can check the Python version with:

 >>>> import sys
 >>>> sys.version

Unless they're identical in the two environments you describe, you can't 
assume they'll both have numpy loaded.
