Numerical Python
Versions after 20.0 require Python 2.0 or later. To take advantage of
the "rich comparisons" (i.e., to be able to compare arrays and get
back a boolean result) you need Python 2.1.

===> Silicon Graphics bug:
Due to a bug in the SGI compiler's handling of complex
variables, you must build your *python* without optimization
on a certain file. Consult the Python installation instructions
for the details.
INSTALLING BINARY DISTRIBUTIONS ON WINDOWS
Get the .exe installers and simply run them. Python must already be installed.
BUILDING AND INSTALLING NUMERIC PTYHON FROM SOURCE
For Windows get the .zip sources. For other platforms use the .tar.gz sources.
After unpacking change to the top-level directory.
Using the python into which you wish to install Numeric Python, execute:
python setup.py install # Core only
or
python setup_all.py install # Core and all optional packages (see below)
To clean up completely after an install, on Unix you can do:
/bin/rm -fr build Packages/*/build
See the Distutils documentation for many command-line options as to
installation locations, etc.
By default Numeric builds itself with a small version of the LAPACK and
BLAS libraries. See setup.py. To use your own BLAS and LAPACK you will
need to edit the settings in setup.py.
OPTIONAL PACKAGES
Subdirectory Packages contains optional packages you may wish to install.
Each package has its own setup.py file or you can use the
setup_all.py file in the main directory. You can edit setup_all.py to
change the list of packages to be installed.
Package Properties is required for package kinds and package MA.
CVS Repository, Bug Tracking, Documentation, Patches, Mailing Lists
Access to the source via CVS, a bug tracking facility, a patch submission
facility, and the numpy-discussion mailing list are all on the
Numerical Python Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy
The Numerical Python Web Site is http://numpy.sourceforge.net. It contains
links to the project page and the documentation. It also has a few links
to related sites.
History
This software was originally written by Jim Hugunin when he was at MIT, later
at CNRI.
Then Paul Dubois of LLNL became the "keeper". LLNL has released any
contributions to it by LLNL personnel for free redistribution.
However, many people have contributed to Numpy. It is a classic open source effort
that nobody "owns". So, Numerical Python is placed in the SourceForge under
the Python license. The LLNL license is in Legal.htm.
