I didn't mean to upset you Dag, it certainly wasn't my intention. My sincere apologies. I just found out that my cython modules could not be imported because of the new dtype structure and I had to resort back to numpy-1.3.0... no big deal.. Anyway I thought that I would simply let you know about it, is all. I am self-taught in computer science, and if I was smart enough to provide a patch, I certainly would have. I totally respect what you all do... please don't get me wrong. A sincere thanks, Peter _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
