Subject: [SciPy-user] "import scipy" fails with Python-2.2a4
Message-ID: <3C22F160.E5D911D3@fel.tno.nl>

I've compiled the latest SciPy successfully. However, when importing the
module this is the result:

[44]jans2 at stbsl1:~%> python

Can someone please tell me what's wrong? Thanks.

This is a documented error for Python 2.2 which changed the implementation
of exec.  The pstat functions using exec must be re-written.  Until this
is done, disable the stats package by not including it in the list of
subpackages to be imported in the main __init__.py  file

scipy/__init__.py

 Why not Array ?
