[Biopython] question on installation of BioPython on Mac OS 10.7

On my Lion laptop, Apple provides Python 2.6.7 and 2.7.1

$ which python2.6
/usr/bin/python2.6
$ which python2.7
/usr/bin/python2.7
$ which python
/usr/bin/python

The default on my machine is Python 2.7, and both this and
Python 2.6 have NumPy 1.5.1 installed - however I'm not 100%
if I installed this (and if so how), or if it came on the machine:

$ python
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jun 25 2011, 05:09:01)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
>>> numpy.__version__
'1.5.1'
>>> quit()

$ python2.6
Python 2.6.7 (r267:88850, Jul 31 2011, 19:30:54)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
>>> numpy.__version__
'1.5.1'
>>> quit()

That probably doesn't help much :(
