We should not do that. It doesn't make any sense, as numpy gets imported all over in Sage itself. One could maybe print a temporary warning if somebody explicitly imports scipy in an interactive sage session, maybe. What we should do instead is fix things so that numpy/scipy/etc. work even with the preparser enabled. Robert Bradshaw actually already did a lot towards that with numpy already, but there is more left to do. There's nothing at all fundamentally incompatible about the preparser and numpy/scipy/cvxopt. Everything could be sorted out with a few appropriate hooks, maybe some patches, etc. -- William > > Best, > Travis > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org wst...@uw.edu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
