Hi Charlie, The error when importing numpy and Numeric on Mac OSX is something to be solved by the numpy developers. When NumPy 1.0 comes out we will look at switching Chimera to use it. If we switch we will drop Numeric support. Chimera uses about 25 third-party Python modules and maintaining them takes time away from developing new features. The main consideration will be that NumPy is the most reliable, stable, trouble-free solution. Tom

import numpy import Numeric Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in ? import Numeric File "/Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric/Numeric.py", line 91, in ? import multiarray SystemError: dynamic module not initialized properly
They both work fine when used separately. I have no clue what OSX does differently to bring this up.
