[SciPy-dev] glipy, OpenGL IPython terminal with numpy support

[Nicolas Rougier]

Thanks.
I do not know when glipy will be stable, it mainly depends on users whow
want to test it and report bugs. Concerning possible extensions, I
prefer right now to concentrate on the very basics to try to offer a
stable applications. I fear that extensions will have to wait.
