Right, which means README.txt, not something you only see after you've installed the thing. But what text exactly are you talking about? Nothing I wrote about inplace builds (which is I *thought* was under discussion) are relevant to "running the tests" in general but are targeted specifically at developers. -- 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 _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
