Re: [Visualpython-users] rpm for redhat 7.1

Sure enough, it seg faults under RH 7.1.

Let me see if I have the details correct.
dot is provided by Numeric, vector is provided by visual.
so the following code should break as well.
--
from visual import *
dot(vector(0,0,0),vector(0,0,0))
--

and this is equivalent to:
--
import visual
import Numeric
Numeric.dot(visual.vector(0,0,0),visual.vector(0,0,0))
--

But... this code works; passing tuples to dot instead of vectors.
--
from visual import *
dot((0,0,0),(0,0,0))
--

It seems that Numeric.dot is not happy with visual.vector arguments.
How much investigation has been done into the bug?
