Learning programming mainly for fun. Naturally I downloaded Python 3.3 (who doesn't want the latest and greatest). What I want involves functions related to the normal distribution. Based on my google research, it appears that SCIPY is a good way to go. That requires NUMPY. I don't seem to find an install that works for my environment which leads to the questions on this post: Is there an install for my environment and if so, where do I get it? If not, is there another package I should use? Or do I need to bite the bullet and install an earlier version of Python. Suggestions and comments appreciated. Thanks. > So what exactly went wrong when you tried to install this http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.7.0/ using commands that you haven't given us and got error messages that you also haven't given us? -- Cheers.
