Yes, that was fixed in the move from 1.5.2 to 2.0 (I don't recall if the intermediate short-lived 1.6 also fixed it, but nobody used that anyway;-). > Matlab is not useful for anything except plotting data > quickly.

There was a pyscilab once, still around at <http://pdilib.sourceforge.net/>, but I don't think it ever matured beyond a "proof of concept" release 0.1 or something.
