A casual google search seems to indicate that for now, SciPy and NumPy are for Python 2.x (2.7 is the latest). I could be wrong though and often am. I know a number of popular and useful packages are not yet available on Python 3. If you need to do a lot math stuff, there's a complete python system that bundles a lot of these tools together into a nice package. It's called Sage. http://www.sagemath.org/ There are several non-python packages out there that are really handy as well: - R - if you need to do statistics. http://www.r-project.org/ - Octave - a matlab-compatible language. http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ - SciLab - a math package that has a nice gui. http://www.scilab.org
