Re: [Visualpython-users] Visual 5.32 now available for Python 2.7

[James M. <mu...@pi...>]

Bruce,
	Two points:

1) the 1.5 series supports BOTH python 3 as well as 2.7.  The major advance they made this year was discovering that they could support both from the same code base.

2) numpy-1.5.0b1 is the first BETA release of the 1.5 series.  Release notes for a VPython using this numpy should clearly state that it is beta.  In fact the second beta was release about 4 hours ago.
