After installing numpy, scipy, and matplotlib for python 2.6 and

When I create a new directory, copy xoptimize.py there, and run, the
program works. Can someone explain why other files are "interfering"
in the first case? Thanks.
You have a file random.py in your code directory, which is shadowing the
system random library.
