Python 2.5 alpha

[D.Hering]

So far so good. Numeric-24.0b2, numarray-1.3.3, pytables-1.1.1 (gonna
wait alittle on the scipy install) all built. Tests passed except one
trivial test in numarray but does function:

1 items had failures:
   1 of 1205 in cache pass
***Test Failed*** 1 failures.
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numarray/numtest.py", line
3477, in cache pass
Failed example:
    try:
       import Numeric
    except ImportError:
       pass
    else:
       a = arange(5)
       b = Numeric.arange(5)
       c = a + b
Exception raised:

Anyway, looking forward to now play with the generator functionality
and hoping the installs' continue to perform properly. :^)
