I have used easy_install to install numpy to install numpy 1.7.1, but when I check my version in python:
python -c "import numpy; print numpy.version.version" It says 1.6.2
What am I doing wrong?
- 1I advise you to use a virtualenv if you want to work with specific versions.Yohann– Yohann2013-05-06 03:04:43 +00:00Commented May 6, 2013 at 3:04

Most likely, you have installed numpy from a debian repository or a pip installation with other parameters. Use
python -c 'import os,numpy;print(numpy.__file__)' to find out where the rogue numpy version lies. While you can just delete this directory, you can also ask your package manager what package the file belongs to. Again, on a debian system:
$ python -c 'import numpy;print(numpy.__file__)' /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/numpy/__init__.pyc $ readlink -f /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/numpy/__init__.py /usr/share/pyshared/numpy/__init__.py $ dpkg -S /usr/share/pyshared/numpy/__init__.py python-numpy: /usr/share/pyshared/numpy/__init__.py $ sudo apt-get remove python-numpy

Using the numpy.__file__ helped me tracked down where the numpy install was and I was able to do the rest myself. Thanks!
sudo easy_install -U numpy
...after many tries, the code above worked for me, finally!
