How to update Numpy on Mac OS X Snow Leopard?
Solution 1
sudo easy_install -U numpy
Installing via setuptools will get the new numpy on the sys.path for non-system utilties (I've been told that some Apple utilities rely on the system-numpy). In general, setuptools will "do the right" thing on OS X.
Solution 2
Use pip install -U numpy
instead, as easy_install is deprecated in favor of pip
Solution 3
as suggested elsewhere, macports works fine on multiple architecture and versions of MacOsX + allows updates and more:
$ port search numpy
py-numpy @1.3.0 (python)
The core utilities for the scientific library scipy for Python
py25-numpy @1.3.0 (python)
The core utilities for the scientific library scipy for Python
py25-symeig @1.4 (python, science)
Symeig - Symmetrical eigenvalue routines for NumPy.
py26-numpy @1.3.0 (python)
The core utilities for the scientific library scipy for Python
py26-scikits-audiolab @0.10.2 (python, science, audio)
Audiolab is a python toolbox to read/write audio files from numpy arrays
Found 5 ports.
$
in your case, simply issue :
$ sudo port install py26-numpy
alternatively, if you want / need to compile yourself, the instructions in HJBlog are very useful. I tested and could easily compile the 64-bit version of matplotlib.

How can I update Numpy into the newest one? Should I download .dmg file from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/
Is this .dmg only for 10.5? I have installed numpy using these instructions:
http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/Mac_OS_X
My current Numpy is 1.2.1. I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Thanks!
