Trying to update NumPY by running pip install -U numpy, which yields "Requirement already up-to-date: numpy in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages". Then checking the version with import numpy and numpy.version.version yields '1.6.2' (old version). Python is importing numpy via the path '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy'. Please help me out here.

You can remove the old version of numpy from
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy
.
Just delete the numpy package from there and then try to import numpy from the python shell.

Thank you, but I'm now having issues deleting numpy from here. Navigating to that /python directory and running `rm -r numpy` yields a bunch of override questions, and then numpy remains in the directory. Any ideas? – BoltzmannBrain Dec 07 '14 at 00:20

maybe sudo rm -r numpy – Ishaan Dec 07 '14 at 13:33

this gives me `rm: numpy: No such file or directory`...? – BoltzmannBrain Dec 08 '14 at 17:32

The new NumPY version would install (via pip) into the System path, where it wasn't being recognized by Python. To solve this I ran pip install --user numpy==1.7.1 to specify I want NumPY version 1.7.1 on my Python (user) path.
