title: Problems installing Numpy 1.7 and Python-Pandas
body: <p>I have python 2.7.3 installed on a Ubuntu 12.10 platform, and I attempted to install the Pandas library. The error message that I received stated that I need to have numpy version 1.7 or higher.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I attempt to reinstall numpy (using pip install numpy), it always (re)installs the older default numpy 1.6.2, which is not compatible with Pandas. Is there a simple way to get around this? I can download and install numpy 1.7.2, but then import numpy will still look for 1.6 by default.</p>
