Hello, I'm wondering if someone could walk me step-by-step through installing Python and some third-party modules. I've never used Python or other programming languages before, but I'm just trying to install it so I can run a simple script. I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.8.
Here's the instructions in the ReadMe file for the script: "Developed for Python v2.6.6, you must have matplotlib, csv, and scipy modules downloaded. The complete python package (including all modules) are available through Enthought.com, which is free for academic institutions. Otherwise, downloading python and individual modules is free through sourceforge.net. If using version < 2.6.6, you may need to 'import math'. NOTE: If you download python and the modules separately (not as a package), it may be possible that you need the Numpy module instead of the csv module. There is no need to change the import statements in the script for either case." The thing that was causing me the most trouble was figuring out how to install the modules. For example, from what I read it sounded like in order to install the Numpy and Scipy modules I had to first install other modules or tools like distutil, virtualenv, and pip, but even after doing that I couldn't get Numpy and Scipy to install. I was also confused about whether I should use v.2.6.6 or whether I could/should use 2.7.2. Thanks, Sean
