URL: http://pytseries.sourceforge.net/ sudo easy_install scikits.timeseries failed download source and install worked. import scikits.timeseries fails due to pkg_resources detecting numpy 1.2.1 did: sudo mv System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/numpy-1.2.1-py2.6.egg-info /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/numpy_APPLE_DEFAULT ~/tmp/python_removed_packages/
Remember: import scipy before scikits.timeseries!
