At least several months, if not years. RedHat supports each version 7 years, for instance (I don't ask for that long). Currently, I'm still using a RHEL 4, although it is planned to migrate to RHEL 5 next year. So we should still support 2.4 for at least 18 months, in case some big firms use RHEL and Python+Numpy for their tools. -- Information System Engineer, Ph.D. Website: http://matthieu-brucher.developpez.com/ Blogs: http://matt.eifelle.com and http://blog.developpez.com/?blog=92 LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/matthieubrucher _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
