trouble with using 'scipy' module

[Adam Powell]

hi, i'm a beginner in Python.
i'm having a problem getting the scipy module to work in Python 2.4.3.
even without downloading numpy (which i currently don't want for
compatibility reasons) i get this message when trying to import scipy.

>>> import scipy

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in -toplevel-
import scipy
File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\scipy\__init__.py", line 25, in
-toplevel-
from numpy import show_config as show_numpy_config
ImportError: No module named numpy

any ideas why this is the case and on how to fix this problem would be
gladly received, thanks.

SciPy needs (uses, if you will) NumPy, so you'll have to install NumPy
if you want to use SciPy.
