Re: [Visualpython-users] Numeric/Numpy

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

This is indeed awkward, but it won't get fixed very soon.

On the one hand, as has been documented and you experienced, the beta 
version is buggy on Windows. I'm gearing up to work on this myself, but 
I have no prediction of when we will see improvement.

On the other hand, the production version depends on numeric (and 
includes it), and there is no one available to my knowledge who can do 
the work to replace numeric with numpy in that version. The conversion 
from numeric to numpy in the beta version was done by Arthur Siegel last 
winter, just before he unexpectedly died.

Scipy is more than numpy; numpy is the foundation for other components 
of scipy.
