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

Aha. I see that there is indeed now a numpy download for Python 3.1,
posted for the first time today!

I'll make a note about the beta numpy status on the vpython.org
download pages. I did check that VPython demo programs that use numpy
in a significant way work fine (gas, stars).
