Yes, I don't know what happened (but I like the myriad different ways 
there are to get numpy!)

But now that I was about to use it, another problem. The Ubuntu Python 
is 2.7. The Windows one has both 2.7 and 3.4 (and my IDE can select either).

The bit of code I wanted to run has Py3-style print functions. I tried 
'import six' as someone suggested recently, but that didn't help as it 
sees a syntax error in the Print line before 'six' can do its thing.

I suppose I can get rid of the prints for the test I wanted to do, or 
find out how to do the same thing under Py2 print. Or install Py3 on 
Ubuntu, which is a big job and I've no idea how to switch between them.

Or I could just leave it all until tomorrow...
