I am a newbie here I am trying to read "space separated floating point data" from file
I read about csv module by searching this group, but I couldn't read space separated values with csv. (which may be matter of course..) I also read about numpy.fromfile(file, sep=' ') which i can use. but on my machine(ubuntu linux) numpy is unknown module, which I didn't install by myself. While trying to install numpy accroding to its homepage. (http://numpy.scipy.org/numpydoc/numdoc.htm). i am quite confused. it's talking about the Numerical Python, and it says to test whether it is installed or not, try import Numeric instead of numpy. I got Nurmeric modules and as a matter of fact i got a file named '_numpy.so' in lib directory. I can import _numpy but _numpy does not have 'fromfile' method My question is: 1. Do i need to install numpy module? 2. Then Is it different from Numeric module? 3. Then where can i get it? 4. Or what is general way to read 'space separated values' from file? Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
