Numpy is working with your Python2.6 and 2.7 installations, but as
Pauli pointed out,
the script you want to run instead is using instead a different and
very ancient Python library,
Numeric (which in its days occasionally was referred to as "NumPy",
too, just to add
confusion ;-).
This means you could either try to
- get Python2.4 to work on your machine and hope the Numeric binary
works with it
- compile Numeric from source for your Python2.6 or Python2.7
installation (it actually
still builds with Python2.7), but this might be challenging for a
beginner
- try to modify your script to work with numpy instead. Numpy provides
all the functionality
Numeric has ever offered afaik; its syntax is merely slightly
different in a few cases.
You should find some helpful information here:
http://www.scipy.org/Converting_from_Numeric
(please note the caveats about the automatic converter!)
It might even be enough to replace the line in the script
File "AbinitBandStructureMaker.py", line 16, in <module>
from Numeric import *
with
from numpy.oldnumeric import *
ymmv - if you can contact the maintainer/original author of the
script, you might ask
them for assistance - it does not make much sense to rely on a
software package that
has not been maintained for half a decade, after all.
