I imported the scipy source package into the site-packages folder...what do I do now? A call to "import scipy.stats" gives me an error message:

ImportError: Error importing scipy: you cannot import scipy while
being in scipy source directory; please exit the scipy source
tree first, and relaunch your python intepreter.

Thing I don't understand is this happens from any folder that I am in and also from the console.

Thanks!

Thanks henryiii...that makes sense...and thanks for the installer script by the way.

Do you know of any statistical pkgs that are pure Python?

bergeom: I used the script posted in this thread by henryiii

dgelessus: thanks for the advice. I ran other scripts, forced quit pythonista, tried importing scipy from scripts in other folders, etc, etc. I still get this error. Any thoughts?

I'm learning Python on my iPad using Pythonista by following along with the Think Python book. It calls for importing Swampy and Tkinter. Anyone done this before? Or is it even possible? Thanks
