Go here: http://neuro.debian.net/index.html#how-to-use-this-repository and add one their repositories to your sources. Then you can do use apt-get to install ALL the latest packages on your Ubuntu box - numpy, scipy, pandas, matplotlib, statsmodels, etc. I wish I found this a few days ago. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
