I have found that people are more willing to accept that they have to do something different to get a technically chalenging feature (i.e. use a particular installer to get a safe, optimized BLAS) than to accept that a relatively straightforward feature is not available at all (i.e. egg binaries on PyPI). -- 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://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
