It could be that the Python install with ArcGIS10.0 is using an older version 
of scipy (and numpy) as the import pysal call raises the warning that scipy 
0.7+ is required. 

Can you report what version of scipy is loaded under 
D:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\lib\site-packages\scipy\ ?

scipy version='0.9.0'
numpy version='1.4.1'

Hi,

It appears that there is a problem with your scipy install.  Can you confirm 
this by running the following commands from the python interpreter?

>>> import scipy
>>> print scipy.version.version
>>> import scipy.stats as stats

And paste the results here?  If the last line doesn't work the problem is with 
your scipy install.

Thanks,
Charlie.

Installed scipy 0.7 and pysal will load sucessfully. Doesn't solve the problem 
with scipy 0.9 version not loading properly. Thanks.
