Re: [Numpy-discussion] Hook in __init__.py to let distributors patch numpy

+1. This seems nicer than patching __init__.py itself, in that it is much more transparent. Good idea. Michael On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 7:19 PM Matthew Brett wrote: > Hi, > > Over at https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/5479 we're discussing > Windows wheels. > > On

FWIW, we (Continuum) are working on a CI system that builds conda recipes. Part of this is testing not only individual packages that change, but also any downstream packages that are also in the repository of recipes. The configuration for this is in

I'm not sure about the mingw tool chain, but usually on windows at link time you need a .lib file, called the import library. The .dll is used at runtime, not at link time. This is different from *nix, where the .so serves both purposes. The link you posted mentions import files, so I hope this

Conda can generally install older versions of python in environments: conda create -n myenv python=3.4 You really don't need any particular initial version of python/conda in order to do this. You do, however, need to activate the new environment to use it: activate myenv (For windows, you do

Running tests in the folder might be causing your problem. If it's trying to import numpy, and numpy is a folder in your current folder, sometimes you see errors like this. The confusion is that Python treats folders (packages) similarly to modules, and the resolution order sometimes bites you.

xrange should be more memory efficient than range: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/135041/should-you-always-favor-xrange-over-range Replacing arrays with lists is probably a bad idea for a lot of reasons. You'll lose nice vectorization of simple operations, and all of numpy's other benefits.
