Well, I do suggest that matplotlib start using Traits 3 rather than Traits 2. Otherwise, they will need to switch later. Also, we've tried to minimize the dependencies for Traits 3, but less so for Traits 2. Another way to put Eric's suggestion is, "We need Traits 3," rather than, "We should always use the trunk." matplotlib might want to aim for a released version of Traits 3. >> (I tried the 2.0 branch, but it turned out to depend on enthought.util, >> which depended on enthought.somethingelse... so I stopped.

The Array trait has been updated in Traits 3 to use numpy idioms (dtypes instead of typecodes, mostly). Traits 2 happily uses numpy for the Array trait, but you're stuck using icky typecodes that you need to import from numpy.oldnumeric. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
