[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] Steadily approaching BETA release

[James Hugunin]

Chris Chase just sent me a bunch of patches to allow a[::-1, 1:-1]
style indexing.  So the grammar is solidifying.

David Ascher's tutorial (and my own TUTORIAL.NumPy) are starting to
produce something like an acceptable first pass at documentation.

Konrad Hinsen's print function offers acceptable printing of arrays.

I've received very few bug reports this week, so the base code is
starting to look stable.


So, what's left before a general BETA release?

Note: I'm going to comment on each of these in a seperate follow-up
piece of e-mail in order to try and seperate these two different issues.

1) Type coercion
2) Naming conventions

What I've decided is not important to resolve before the BETA release:

1) static vs. dynamic linking (static linking is fine for now) 
2) Contents of Numeric.py (I'm going to rule by fiat here) 
3) The exact details of Konrad's print function (Unlikley that changes
here will break anyone's code)
