Re: [cclib-devel] Numeric --> numpy

[Adam T. <a-t...@st...>]

I briefly looked into the conversion from Numeric to numpy, and it  
looks like there is a script that does all of the conversion for you  
since there is an oldnumeric module of numpy. Granted, the script  
probably isn't flawless. Also, it may be that we can detect whether  
numpy is available and if so, import the numpy.oldnumeric interface  
as Numeric (that's actually what the aforementioned script does);  
otherwise, just import Numeric.

I do agree that we should wait until after the next release as this  
release already had numerous changes. I don't know if numpy compiles  
on Gentoo---since I bought my mac, I don't develop on Gentoo much  
these days.
