Hi,

First of all, thanks to everyone for all the hard work.

I'm on a dual G5 Mac running OS X 10.5.6 and Enthought's EPD python:
    Python 2.5.2 |EPD Py25 4.1.30101| (r252:60911, Dec 19 2008,  
15:28:32)

I deleted my old numpy, downloaded the Mac .dmg file and went through  
what claimed to be a successful installation, only to find no numpy.    
I tracked the new version down to /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages, a  
directory that I didn't know existed (site-packages is the only thing  
there).  So I downloaded the source tarball and installed in the usual  
way with no problem into

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/4.1.30101/lib/python2.5/ 
site-packages/

So my question is, why did the Mac .mkpg installer put numpy in the  
wrong place?

I'm getting one test failure with 1.3.0b1 ---
