[Numpy-discussion] Numeric 23.6 for Python 2.4

[Jonathan Brandmeyer]

Does the Numeric team intend to provide a build of Numeric 23.6 for Python 2.4?  If not, I have managed to build a release using the free-as-in-beer version of MSVC 7.1, aka MS Visual C++ Toolkit 2003.

I basically followed the directions here:
http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/index.html
and altered setup.py to use Numeric's own math libraries rather than the atlas libs.  The build has been tested only by running the supplied Test/test.py program after installing the package.

For the moment, you can download the file from 
http://www4.ncsu.edu/~jdbrandm/Numeric-23.6.win32-py2.4.exe
but I would prefer it to be hosted on the Sourceforge download page for the project.  Its md5sum is 2df692d7b8136b68e3b511ed27cbbdd8

Thanks,
