ImportError for scipy.stats on Mac OS 10.8.5

[Lbeckman]

Hi,
I am working on a Mac with OS 10.8.5 and am having trouble with the python package scipy.
I followed the directions to install the ScipySuperpack for OS 10.8 using homebrew:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10057095/installing-numpy-lion-with-python-2-7 (see bottom).

After this installation, I can import numpy and scipy into python 2.7.3, but I get the following for scipy.stats:

import scipy.stats
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/scipy-0.14.0.dev_dc14aee-py2.7-macosx-10.9-intel.egg/scipy/stats/init.py", line 332, in

I would really appreciate some advise on how to fix this issue. Note, I am a terminal novice, so detailed suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Thanks!

Here is a script for installing the Superpack using Homebrew. I have been using it on Mavericks, but it should work for 10.8 as well. You might give it a try, as it should not suffer from these pesky shared library issues.

Thanks so much! I appreciate your quick response!

Did this work for you?

Actually, I ended up using the Anaconda package which installed scipy just
fine. I'm not sure what the issue was with homebrew, but since I have scipy
working now, I stopped investigating...
