Maybe I should mention that I just finished testing all Python packages in EPD under 10.7, and everything (execpt numpy.sqr for weird complex values such as inf/nan) works fine! In particular building C and Fortran extensions with the new LLVM based gcc and importing them into Python (both 32 and 64-bit). There are two MacOS builds of EPD (one 32-bit and 64-bit), they are compiled on 10.5 using gcc 4.0.1 and then tested on 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7. - Ilan On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 3:23 PM, Christopher Barker <chris.bar...@noaa.gov> wrote: > On 7/27/11 12:35 PM, Ralf Gommers wrote: >> Please don't distribute a different numpy binary for each version of >> MacOS X. > > +1 ! > >> If 10.6-built binaries are going to work without problems on 10.7 - also >> for scipy - then two versions is enough.
