If I understand Ravi right, one problem with 2.5 is that it relies on an old toolset (VS 2003, not available anymore). OTOH, 2.6 depends on the most recent toolset, which is also available for free in a limited version (VS 2008 express). If you think about supporting things for a couple of years, relying on VS 2008 sounds safer than 2003. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
