Package: python2.4-scipy Version: 0.3.2-8 Severity: normal
Because import scipy.stats doesn't actually do the import (it returns a fancy __ppinport_p_frame object that seems to do a delayed import), the __dict__ attribute is not what one expects and is pretty much useless. As is dir(scipy.stats). Neither one tells you what is inside the scipy.stats module. Ideally, one would do something fancy with __ppinport_p_frame.__getattribute__ so that when one asked for __dict__, __getattribute__ would be called, the module would be imported, and the actual __dict__ of the scipy.stats module would be returned. Example: import scipy.stats print scipy.stats.__dict__ -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages python2.4-scipy depends on: ii atlas3-base [liblapack.s 3.6.0-19 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii atlas3-sse2 [liblapack.s 3.6.0-19 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii fftw2 [fftw2-double] 2.1.3-16.2 Library for computing Fast Fourier ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libg2c0 1:3.4.5-1 Runtime library for GNU Fortran 77 ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-5 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System protocol client li ii python 2.3.5-5 An interactive high-level object-o ii python2.4 2.4.2-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python2.4-numeric 24.2-1 Numerical (matrix-oriented) Mathem ii python2.4-scipy-core 0.3.2-6 low level utilities for scipy (for ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System client libraries m Versions of packages python2.4-scipy recommends: ii g++ [c++-compiler] 4:4.0.2-2 The GNU C++ compiler ii g++-4.0 [c++-compiler] 4.0.2-5 The GNU C++ compiler pn python2.4-f2py <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
