hardy: 1.0.4 lucid: 1.3.0 precise: 1.6.1 Even those of us who are developing downstream aren't necessarily rushing to hand-roll all the dependencies. Our users certainly aren't and the alternatives of abandoning support for earlier versions of numpy or having a bunch of version tests aren't appealing, either. I am somewhat surprised by the notion of breaking API compatibility without changing the major version number. -- Jonathan Niehof ISR-3 Space Data Systems Los Alamos National Laboratory MS-D466 Los Alamos, NM 87545 Phone: 505-667-9595 email: [email protected] Correspondence / Technical data or Software Publicly Available _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
