[Numpy-discussion] Release candidate 3 for NumPy 1.4.1 and SciPy 0.7.2

[Sebastian Haase]

Hi,
Congratulations. I might be unnecessarily dense - but what SciPy am I
supposed to use with the new numpy 1.4.1 for Python 2.5? I'm surprised
that there are no SciPy 0.7.2 binaries for Python 2.5 - is that
technically not possible ?

Thanks,
Sebastian Haase
