Re: [Visualpython-users] Finally we have problems with vpython, Numeric, Numpy, NumArray

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

I don't understand. The VPython installer VPython-Win-Py2.5-3.2.10.exe 
for Python 2.5 available at vpython.org includes Numeric. This installer 
was made last fall to get around precisely the problem you describe, the 
lack of a separately available Numeric. I just verified that this works 
as intended, though admittedly with Python 2.5 which I happen to have on 
my computer, not Python 2.5.1 (but I would be shocked if that made a 
difference).

If you look in c:\Python25\Lib\site-packages you should see a folder for 
Numeric as well as a folder for visual.

I would suggest using the Add/remove control panel to remove VPython and 
re-install it, though I don't know why that should be necessary nor why 
it should help the situation.

Has anyone else had a related experience?

Incidentally, one of the big contributions made by the late Arthur 
Siegel was to change Visual to use numpy instead of Numeric in the beta 
version of Visual.
