Some users require python versions, that differ from those on the system installed.

python install:

wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.5/Python-2.7.5.tgz

./configure --prefix=/opt/sw/python/2.7.5

setuptools for easy_install:

wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-1.1.tar.gz --no-check-certificate
/opt/sw/python/2.7.5/bin/python setup.py build 
/opt/sw/python/2.7.5/bin/python setup.py install --prefix=/opt/sw/python/2.7.5

.bashrc:

export PATH=/opt/sw/python/2.7.5/bin:$PATH
export PYTHONPATH=/opt/sw/python/2.7.5

If you with to install numpy with MKL yourself, relevant files are:

• install_numpy.sh
• site_cfg.numpy.intel2013.txt

For using already installed versions of numpy the PYTHONPATH variable in .bashr has to set to point to the right version; install directory is /opt/sw/numpy von all clusters:

export PYTHONPATH=/opt/sw/numpy/1.6.2/lib64/python2.4/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

or

export PYTHONPATH=/opt/sw/numpy/1.7.0/lib64/python2.6/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
