Re: [python-control-developers] [python-control-announce] python-control 0.7.0 now available

[Richard M. <mu...@cd...>]

I’m not sure if the conda install works on Windows or not (Clancy: do you know?).  If someone on the developer’s list wants to try this and let everyone know, that would be useful.

I did notice that when I tried to do a binary install of slycot on my Mac, it had problems.  Had to do a manual install (which requires a fortran compiler) to get things working.  But that might just be because of my configuraton
