Why can't I import numpy?

Can't import Numpy in Python

• I'm trying to write some code that uses Numpy. However, I can't import it: Python 2.6.2 (r262, May 15 2009, 10:22:27) [GCC 3.4.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import numpy Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named numpy I tried the suggestions in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/233320/cannot-import-sqlite-with-python-2-6: >>> import sys >>> print sys.path ['', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python26.zip', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6/site-packages'] and I searched for files named numpy in that path: $ find /usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/bin/python -iname numpy\* But nothing came up. So... Are there any other places in which Python modules are commonly installed? How can I install numpy locally in my account, if it turns out that it isn't installed in the central areas?

• Answer:

  Have you installed it? On debian/ubuntu: aptitude install python-numpy On windows: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/ On other systems: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/ $ tar xfz numpy-n.m.tar.gz $ cd numpy-n.m $ python setup.py install
