Can't import Numpy in Python
import, numpy, python
Solution
Have you installed it?
On debian/ubuntu:
aptitude install python-numpy
On windows:
`http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/`
On other systems:
`http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/`
$ tar xfz numpy-n.m.tar.gz
$ cd numpy-n.m
$ python setup.py install
Problem
I'm trying to write some code that uses Numpy. However, I can't import it: ``` Python 2.6.2 (r262, May 15 2009, 10:22:27) [GCC 3.4.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import numpy Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named numpy ``` I tried the suggestions in this question: ``` >>> import sys >>> print sys.path ['', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python26.zip', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/lib/python2.6/site-packages'] ``` and I searched for files named `numpy` in that path: ``` $ find /usr/intel/pkgs/python/2.6.2/bin/python -iname numpy\* ``` But nothing came up. So... - Are there any other places in which Python modules are commonly installed? - How can I install numpy locally in my account, if it turns out that it isn't installed in the central areas?
