splitting out a sub-package is ugly. there are plans to include numpy into the python core, but it looks like these are stalled (http://numpy.scipy.org/array_interface.shtml).
the original request was to get the CD size down, and the only package depending on numpy is pygtk. pygtk does use the multiarray module for two functions (one of them is deprecated): GdkPixbuf.pixel_array and GdkPixbuf.get_pixels_array. Both functions are not used in main, afaics, so it is difficult to see why this interface was added and how it is used. maybe just raise an ImportError if the module cannot be imported, with the message append "please install python-numpy"? ** Also affects: pygtk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- fortran-using components need to be split out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309215 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to pygtk in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
