[Visualpython-users] Re: numeric 22.0

[Bruce S. <bas...@un...>]

Jean-Francois Bouchet pointed out that VPython had gotten behind, in that on
Windows it didn't work with Numeric 22.0, the latest version of the Numeric
module that is referenced by VPython.

All that was required was to recompile, so there is a new Windows installer
for VPython at http://vpython.org.

Bouchet had suggested the following:

However, I don't see a way to make that work with the binary VPython
installer for Windows, since the C++ code for Visual must be compiled
against the version of Numeric to be used. I did however keep links on the
download page to older versions of VPython, just in case.

Only the Windows installer has been changed at this time.
