That's the problem. You have the numpy package directory in your sys.path, so when it tries to import the standard library's distutils package, it finds numpy/distutils instead. You want site-packages/ on your sys.path, not site-packages/numpy/. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
