Nothing serious afaik but you have suid'd *all* files with the group
as the owner.  Im not sure what consequences this has but maybe just
do this to get things fixed.

# chmod -R g-s scipy

# find scipy/ -type d -exec chmod g+s '{}' ';'

Find is your friend but be careful before you use it and generally
avoid doing system administration late at night.  Sometimes all is
lost before you realize its too late. :) Biggest problem is that
sometimes mistakes can be unrecoverable.
