Dirk:
I had not heard of this but have been looking for an IDL replacement. If it has a python interface, even better. I might be interested in packaging it but am not a DD yet. I could probably get a sponsor though.

A Quantian user emailed me today asking for inclusion of GDL in Quantian -- (see the site at http://gnudatalanguage.sourceforge.net/ for full information on GDL.) Some highlights on GDL: Full syntax compatibility with IDL 6.0 ALL IDL language elements are supported, including: netCDF files are fully supported. HDF files are partially supported. Basic support for HDF5 files. GDL has an interface to python (python routines can be called from GDL). GDL can be build as a pyhton module (GDL subroutines can be called from python). No GUI support (widgets) is implemented so far. GDL is free software licensed under the GPL. As I have never used IDL myself, I can't say how good/bad/complete this is. Would anybody around here be interested in packaging it? Regards, Dirk
