No, but you need it for Scipy.

Because there is no free fortran compiler on windows64, except for gfortran. Since I am not sure whether it will be possible to use gfortran/Visual Stsudio together to build NumPy/SciPy, I don't want to distribute binaries which will be incompatible with each other if we change from Visual Studio to gcc. People who really need NumPy on win64 can build it by themselves, or use any other mean (EPD, unofficial binaries, etc...). cheers, David _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
