I just installed python 2.5b1 on my Mac (10.4 ppc) and can't seem to get Numeric 24.2 installed. It seems to build fine (no obvious error messages), but when I try to import it I get: Python 2.5b1 (r25b1:47038M, Jun 20 2006, 16:17:55) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import Numeric main:1: ImportWarning: Not importing directory '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-pac kages/Numeric': missing init.py Any ideas? Is it somehow incompatible with python 2.5b1? For what it's worth, numarray builds and installs fine. I've not tried numpy or any other packages yet.

See Konrad Hinsen's post earlier today "Numeric and Python 2.5b1" for a description of the issue and a way to silence the warnings. It's just a warning, though, not an error.
