Eric, Thanks for the well-thought-out answers to some of my recent posts.
I've been using: http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/index.html for installing scipy, numpy, and matplotlib, as I didn't feel as confident installing things manually. Should I be using svn instead? (Is that what most users do?) And if so, is there a two-minute tutorial on what I'd need to do to get that stuff running on my machine? (The code I end up using needs to be stable enough for classroom use).
