AFAIK, numpy on 2.6 will not change to a new API in that regard. But note that python 2.6 does not bring much for scientific computation, so I think that if you canm you should stick to 2.5 before a release with official 2.6 support is available. We indeed hope to get a 2.6 compatible release of numpy within the end of the year (scipy should follow quite quickly). David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
