        <title>Pronterface question</title>
        <description> Sorry if this is a basic question.  I have almost completed building my first 3D printer and I&#039;m trying to get the software sorted out.  I downloaded Pronterface and can&#039;t get it to run.

I&#039;m using windows 10 and have both Python 2.7 and 3.5 installed.  When I run the pronterface.py program I get a message that says ImportError:  no module named numpy.

I am very confused.  I think I have it for python 3.  I entered pip install numpy and it installed.  If I start python 3 in the command prompt and enter import numpy then I get a cursor.  I&#039;m assuming that I have numpy for python 3 but not 2.  Here&#039;s where I&#039;m lost because I can&#039;t find a straight forward way to get numpy for 2.

I hope that made sense.  I&#039;m trying very hard to learn all this but starting at age 40 I&#039;m a bit slow!

Thanks!
