Re: [Numpy-discussion] Update on using scons to build numpy

Hi, A quick email to give an update on my work to build numpy with scons. I've finished a few days ago to make my former work a separate package from numpy: it was more work than I expected because of bootstrapping issues, but I can now build numpy again with the new package on Linux.
