yup -- that is probably the python.org python. However, there are now two different builds of 2.7 for OS-X the "10.3" one, which is 32 bit, PPC+Intel, 10.3.9 and above, and the "10.6" build, which is 32bit_64bit, Intel only, and only runs on 10.6 and above. > however when I attempt to install the recent numpy binary > python-2.7.2-macosx10.6.dmg I get stopped at the first stage of the > install procedure with the error: > > numpy 1.6.1 can't be installed on this disk. numpy requires System > Python 2.7 to install. You need a numpy build that matches the python build, I suspect you have a mis-match. Check carefully which ones you downloaded and make sure they match. > Is it looking for > /usr/bin/python2.7? For that, I only have up to 2.6 available. (and 2.5) No. The "System Python" term is a misnomer that somehow has never gotten fixed in the installer -- what it is really looking for is the python.org build.
