- 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
-
- See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
-
- OPTIONAL PACKAGES
-
- Subdirectory Packages contains optional packages. By default, setup.py
- installs all of them; if you do not want all of them, simply remove the
- corresponding lines from setup.py.
-
- Each package has its own setup.py file for separate installation.
-
- 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.
