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

[Iddo Friedberg]

Daria,

Seems like there is a NumPy for Python 2.7 on Mac:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.6.1/

In any case, you should not skip the NumPy installation. Even if for teh
combination of your OS and Python version there is only NumPy for Python
2.6, you should install that. There is very little difference between
Python 2.6 and 2.7, and NumPy should not break (and, in any case, seems
like your desired version is in the link above).

HTH,

Iddo
