Hi, Thanks a lot for the suggestion - I appreciate it.

For current trunk you get an error ending in: File "/Users/mb312/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/distutils/command/build_src.py", line 466, in generate_a_pyrex_source if self.inplace or not have_pyrex(): TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable which is easily fixable of course ('build_src.have_pyrex = lambda : True') - leading to: File "/Users/mb312/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/distutils/command/build_src.py", line 474, in generate_a_pyrex_source import Pyrex.Compiler.Main ImportError: No module named Pyrex.Compiler.Main I'm afraid I did a rather crude monkey-patch to replace the 'generate_a_pyrex_source' function. It seems to work for numpy 1.1 and current trunk. The patching process is here: http://github.com/matthew-brett/du-cy-numpy/blob/master/matthew_monkey.py Best, Matthew _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
