I noted the API for pysparse is greatly changed in development, so trunk versions of pysparse will not work with current fipy. It seems it will be possible to support the old and new version of pysparse, with some development effort. I hope fipy chooses for that path. These kind of changes in OSS is one of the weaknesses, backward compatibility is often being broken. Benny > André Van Calster > > > > >
