I noticed that python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local
installs a new file called numpy-1.0.5.dev4445.egg-info. It used to be that files were only installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy. What is the file used for? $ cat /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy-1.0.5.dev4445.egg-info Metadata-Version: 1.0 Name: numpy Version: 1.0.5.dev4445 Summary: NumPy: array processing for numbers, strings, records, and objects. Home-page: http://numeric.scipy.org Author: NumPy Developers Author-email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] License: BSD Download-URL: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=175103 Description: NumPy is a general-purpose array-processing package designed to efficiently manipulate large multi-dimensional arrays of arbitrary records without sacrificing too much speed for small multi-dimensional arrays. NumPy is built on the Numeric code base and adds features introduced by numarray as well as an extended C-API and the ability to create arrays of arbitrary type which also makes NumPy suitable for interfacing with general-purpose data-base applications. There are also basic facilities for discrete fourier transform, basic linear algebra and random number generation.
