I am attempting to download and install both and so that I can get them to work with each other. I've looked at the release notes for SciPy 0.14.0 and 0.15, and they appear to be compatible with Visual Python, which requires Python 2.7.9. After downloading this version I checked (using python -V) that my computer uses this version. When you install Anaconda, it installs a different version of Python, which has SciPy, NumPy, pandas, matplotlib, and whole lot of goodness bundled with it. However, those libraries won't automatically become usable by your other Python version that comes pre-installed on your computer (or any other Python version that you installed yourself).

Aug 21, 2015 - Welcome to both Python and Stack Overflow! Your question is not at all uncommon. I've seen PhD graduates struggle with the exact same issues! While Python. Below is a partial list of third-party and operating system vendor package managers containing NumPy and SciPy packages. These packages are not maintained by the NumPy and SciPy developers; this list is provided only as a convenience.

From the command line, try which python - this will tell you which Python you're using on the command line right now. If what is printed has the word 'Anaconda' in it, you are fine, and you should be able to use scipy. If not, then that is not the right Python associated with scipy. In your shell configuration file (typically.bashrc or.bashprofile) Anaconda makes the required change to make sure that you start using the Anaconda version of Python. From your output, it seems that it didn't get your username right.
In the path, the username should be your actual username on the computer. Try to make that change, restart your terminal or a shell session, and try again. It might also simply be that you never restarted your terminal. Let us know what you find.
