If you want to move the f2py script (though not the numpy.f2py subpackage) to another Debian package, I have no objection. However, the fortranobject.[ch] files are package data, and IMO should stay with the numpy.f2py subpackage; I don't see how anyone benefits by removing them. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
