That's the entire problem - system Python has its own private copy of
numpy and scipy and matplotlib that are not in the usual sys.path
places:

$ /usr/bin/python -c 'import numpy; print(numpy.__file__)'
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy/__init__.pyc

Then, if you try to upgrade them with pip, the new packages are below
the private copies in directory precedence, and the effect is that the
upgrade is ignored.

In effect, system Python is for the system, if you want to own your
Python, you need to install another copy for yourself.

Cheers,

Matthew
