Re: [Visualpython-users] Fwd: Installer for ENTHOUGHT's 32-bit Python distribution for Mac 10.6.x

I don't understand "If you just try to install visual, it will try to
install its own numpy". On Linux, visual doesn't install numpy, you
have to install numpy as a dependency before building visual. What
have I misunderstood?
