Numpy with python 3.0

Question

NumPy installer can\'t find python path in the registry.

Cannot install Python version 2.6 required, which was not found in the registry.

Answer 1

Guido van Rossum (creator of Python) says he is keen to see NumPy work in Python 3.x, because it would enable many dependent libraries to move to 3.x.

Update 2010-08-05: NumPy version 1.5 supports Python 3.x, and SciPy will soon. NumPy 1.5 beta is available for download now.

Update 2012-05-31: SciPy 0.10.0 added support for Python 3.1 in November 2011.

Answer 2

The current development verson of Numpy is compatible with Python 3 -- you can get it from Numpy's SVN and build it yourself. It will probably be released later this year (probably in the summer) as Numpy 2.0.

Answer 3

Scipy now also supports Python 3 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/0.10.0/).

Answer 4

there is not [yet] a version of numpy that has been ported to Python 3.

the last update I heard from the people on the project was this: http://blog.jarrodmillman.com/2009/01/when-will-numpy-and-scipy-migrate-to.html

for now, if you need Numpy, you are stuck with Python 2.x
