Python crashes consistently

[Pete Crite]

Thanks for the quick reply,

Just to clarify (sorry, I'm a bit of a command line newbie):

Do you mean to install Python from the .dmg - i.e. into /usr/local/ 
bin? And then to install Numpy directly as well (manually, from  
source), then continue with the MacPorts installation of Gnumeric  
(i.e. into /opt/local/)?

Thanks,
Pete.
