He may have stated it, but the evidence suggests he's wrong. You're asking a question about the details of the installers used specifically by scipy and matplotlib. Most people here have no idea about that, hence the lack of useful answers. The best likelihood of finding a solution is to go to a specialist forum, not a generic one. In any case, suggesting Google is *always* relevant. You gave us no reason at all to think that you had made any effort to solve the problem yourself before asking for us to volunteer our time. That's rude. Did you google for "uninstall scipy" before asking for help? Did you make any effort to read the Scipy manual first? Did you make any effort *at all*? If you had -- and for all we know, you might have spent days trying to solve this, or 3 seconds, or anything in between -- you didn't say so. Suggesting that you do some googling is absolutely relevant. Perhaps it's about time that we point you at this: http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html I don't agree with everything the author says, but the basic position is about right. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
