[SciPy-dev] SciPy 0.1 and Numeric 21

[Tom Loredo]

Hi folks-

Thanks for all the help with the Solaris install; it finally
worked!

Not content with leaving well enough alone (i.e. with
Numeric 20.1.0), I tried installing with Numeric-21.0b1.
The build and install goes fine, but "import scipy" fails with:

>>> import scipy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/home/laplace/lib/python2.2/site-packages/scipy/__init__.py", line 41, in ?
    from handy import *
  File "/home/laplace/lib/python2.2/site-packages/scipy/handy.py", line 1, in ?
    import Numeric
  File "/home/laplace/lib/python2.2/site-packages/Numeric/Numeric.py", line 124, in ?
    arrayrange = multiarray.arange
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'arange'

Does this reflect an incompatibility with more recent versions
of Numeric?  If so, what is the latest version that is compatible
with SciPy 0.1?

Thanks,
Tom Loredo
