Numpy needs the ucs2
Question: I have installed Numpy using ActivePython and when I try to import numpy
module, it is throwing the following error:

> ImportError: /opt/ActivePython-2.7/lib/python2.7/site-
> packages/numpy/core/multiarray.so: undefined symbol:
> PyUnicodeUCS2_FromUnicode

I am fairly new to python, and I am not sure what to do. I appreciate if you
could point me to the right direction.

  * Should I remove python and configure its compilation with the "--enable-unicode=ucs2" or "--with-wide-unicode" option?

Cheers

  * OS: Fedora 16, 64bit; 
  * Python version: Python 2.7.2 (default, Mar 26 2012, 10:29:24);
  * The current compile Unicode version: ucs4


Answer: I suggest that a quick solution to these sort of complications is that you use
the Enthought Python Distribpotion (EPD) on Linux which includes a wide range
of extensions. Cheers.
