[SciPy-user] Scipy builds OK on OSX, but doesn't actually work!

[Matthew Vernon]

Hi,

I followed the instructions for installing scipy on OSX, and so built  
the SVN versions. All seemed to go fine, until I actually try and use  
scipy:

kublai:~ matthew$ python
Python 2.3.5 (#1, Mar 20 2005, 20:38:20)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import scipy
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ 
python2.3/site-packages/scipy/__init__.py", line 51, in ?
     pkgload(verbose=SCIPY_IMPORT_VERBOSE,postpone=True)
   File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ 
python2.3/site-packages/numpy/_import_tools.py", line 196, in __call__
     self.warn('Overwriting %s=%s (was %s)' \
AttributeError: PackageLoader instance has no attribute '_obj2str'

This is using the apple-supplied python.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matthew
