After cursory tests: * it appears that the proper python command line is '#!/usr/bin/python2.5 -OO'; using 'env' or separating the '-O' options doesn't work. * when you do this, /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/ma/core.py raises an exception, since it does a '+=' on its __doc__, and __doc__ is None. Commenting out line 3256 fixes this. I've attempted to report this bug upstream, but numpy does not appear to have any bug tracker. =( Other than that, seems to work. I could still use some help doing some measurements to quantify the improvement (if any), since most of my day today will probably be spent on build-related issues. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
