Hello,
I ran the following code (Using Debian 5.0)

from numpy import *

Please ask numpy questions on the numpy mailing list, not here:

  http://www.scipy.org/Mailing_Lists

a = arange(1.,10.)
b = reshape(a, [3,3])
c = linalg.inv(b)
print b
print c
print dot(b,c)
print dot(c,b)

And the result is

[[ 1. 2. 3.]
[ 4. 5. 6.]
[ 7. 8. 9.]]

[[ 3.15221191e+15 -6.30442381e+15 3.15221191e+15]
[ -6.30442381e+15 1.26088476e+16 -6.30442381e+15]
[ 3.15221191e+15 -6.30442381e+15 3.15221191e+15]]

[[-0.5 -1. -1. ]
[-1. -2. 2. ]
[-1.5 -3. 1. ]]

[[ 5.5 8. 10.5]
[ 3. 0. -3. ]
[ -1. 0. -3. ]]

NOT the identity matrix. Any help ?

You have a very singular matrix (2*a[1] - a[0] == a[2]). You cannot invert it numerically and expect sensible results.
