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:

My current Numpy is 1.2.1. I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Thanks!

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.
