Python 3.4 Compatibility With Numpy, Scipy, And Matplotlib

I am very new to Python and am wondering what versions of numpy/scipy/matplotlib are compatible with different versions of Python--or to what degree it matters that they match up.

Solution 1:

I would recommend you to take a closer look at the Anaconda installation.

You will install all needed packages in one step and beside that all the packages will be mutually compatible and tested.

If you need packages that aren't included, you can simply install them using internal packaging tool - conda:

conda install package_name

Solution 2:

Current versions, numpy 0.11.0 and scipy 0.17.1, should be perfectly fine with python 3.4 and 3.5.

To a first approximation, any non-ancient version of numpy or scipy is going to be OK with python 3.4.

It's good idea anyway to run self-tests after installation: >>> from numpy import test; test() and >>> from scipy import test; test().

Solution 3:

From the very same page:

NumPy and SciPy support the Python 2.x series, (versions 2.6 and 2.7), as well as Python 3.2 and newer

Python versions in the 3.x line should all be backwards compatible anyway.
