[Numpy-discussion] testing binary installer for OS X

[Ralf Gommers]

Hi,

I built an installer for OS X and did some testing on a clean computer. All
NumPy tests pass. SciPy (0.7.1 binary) gives a number of errors and
failures, I copied one of each type below. For full output see
http://pastebin.com/eEcwkzKr . To me it looks like the failures are
harmless, and the kdtree errors are not related to changes in NumPy. Is that
right?

I also installed Matplotlib (0.99.1.1 binary), but I did not find a way to
test just the binary install except manually. Created some plots, looked
fine. Then I ran the test script examples/tests/backend_driver.py from an
svn checkout, but my laptop died before the tests finished (at least 25
mins). Basic output was:
<example_name.py>     1.123 0
<example_name2.py>   0.987 0
...
Can anyone tell me what the best way is to test the MPL binary?

Cheers,
Ralf
