[Numpy-discussion] Import fails of scipy.factorial when installed as a zipped egg

[Fadhley Salim]

I've noticed that with scipy 0.7.0 + numpy 1.2.1, an importing the
factorial function from the scipy module always seems to fail when scipy
is installed as a zipped ",egg" file. When the project is installed as
an unzipped directory it works fine.
 
Is there any reason why this function should not be egg-safe? 
 
My test to verify this was pretty simple: I just installed my scipy egg
(made by extracting the Windows, Python 2.4 Superpack) with the
easy_install command. Whenever I install it with the "-Z" option (to
uncompress) it works fine. With the "-z" option it always fails.
 
Thanks!
 
Sal
