python-2.6

[luca.ciciriello@email.it]

Hi all.

I've installed on may MacOS X 10.4.11 (PPC) Python-2.5.2, numpy and scipy.
Now I'm interested to insall Python-2.6. My question is: What will happen to
may scientific modules if now I jump fro 2.5.2 to 2.6? I've to reinstall
numpy and scipy?

Thanks in advance for any answer.

Yes. You'll need to reinstall those modules for 2.6. You can try
copying and pasting their folders from your 2.5 installation, but I
doubt it will work.

numpy does not work with python 2.6 in general.
Windows AMD64 numpy 1.2.0 and python 2.6 reported a failed install:

I attempted to install numpy 1.2.0 under Windows x86 and python 2.6
and the installation failed as well.

Let us know if you get it to work on Mac, but do not upgrade to Python
2.6 if you want your numpy code to work on a Windows machine at least
until there is a new numpy release.

You can have multiple Python versions installed, each in their own
directory. The installer gives you the choice to have the new one grab
the .pyx extensions or not.
