You need to open the IDLE that comes with the version of python where
you have scipy installed.

I'm on Windows and have 4 IDLE shortcuts set up, that point to and
start with one of python 2.5, 2.6., 2.7. and 3.2

There is no problem having parallel versions of python installed, but
it's always necessary to check which python is used.

(Although, I don't know the details for Linux)
