I just noticed this thread - if you want a great version of python that has numpy/scipy so you can be sure to have the same version, use Python XY: http://www.pythonxy.com/
It's got a host of scientific packages such as matplotlib, numpy, and scipy. Then it has all sorts of other bells and whistles, as well. HTH, Wayne
