I think the Windows builds are pretty good, but with the MS compiler mess, that can be a pain, too (64 bit issues have not been resolved, though I guess not for numpy either...). And it is certainly not trivial to do yourself. I suffer on OS-X: what with Apple's Python, python.org's one, fink, macports, etc, then you have OS-X version 10.4 - 10.6 to support, and both PPC and Intel, and all of this with Fortran code, it really is a mess. Also, I deliver stand-alone tools, built with py2exe and py2app, and really don't like to be delivering the entire pile of scipy when I do.

Maybe I've been spoiled by using Linux, but my answer to this sort of thing is always "just install scipy already". If it's not already packaged for your operating system (e.g. Linux, OSX, or Windows), is it really difficult to compile it yourself? (If so, perhaps post a report to scipy-user and see if we can fix it so it isn't.)

The problem is that everyone has a different "basic". What we really need is an easier way for folks to use sub-packages of scipy. I've found myself hand-extracting just what I need, too. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R(206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion

[Numpy-discussion] binomial coefficient, factorial
Is there any chance that a binomial coefficent and factorial function can make their way into NumPy? I know these exist in Scipy, but I don't want to have to install SciPy just to have something so "basic". ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
