Re: [Visualpython-users] visual installation (Mac OS X) - suggestions

[Bruce S. <bas...@un...>]

Thanks much for the corrections! Now fixed.

Except for the one involing Numeric, which I don't understand. The 
VPython installer directions specifcally say to run "python2.2 setup.py 
install", not "python setup.py install". This is important of course, in 
order to install Numeric for use by python2.2.
