Yes, we can compare the outputs with the existing results of the "old" version. >> Which conversion script do you mean?

The script I mentioned was the conversion script which is distributed with numpy (alter_code1.py). But this script doesn't seem to be maintained any more. > Anyway, hundreds of files sounds like a lot, but while it's boring work, > it's probably less than you'd think once you get started. You'd want a > multiple-file search and replace tool, though. I've tried with some sample scripts. Simply replacing "Numeric" by "numpy" leads to other errors (wrong attributes etc.). However since I don't have the resources to do this for the user, I've now installed the historical Numeric 24.2 and the user is warned, not to use Numeric for any new script and that Numeric will be removed in the future. That should give him enough time to go through his old scripts and change them. frank _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
