[SciPy-User] Can't install Scipy on my Mac 10.5.2

[22Nick22 Yanpei Liu]

Hi Guys:

During the installation I keep getting this message:

"You cannot install scipy 0.8.0 on this volume. scipy requires Python 2.6 from www.python.org to install."

This has been confusing me for months since I installed Python 2.7 directly from www.python.org. It should have replaced the Apple's stock Python 2.5... When I type python it returns:

Python 2.7 (r27:82508, Jul  3 2010, 20:17:05) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks
Nick
