[SciPy-user] ANN: Python Enthought Edition Version 1.0.0.beta3 Released

[John Kominek]

Could you clarify something that newcomers to the world scientific 
python (such as myself) stumble over. When you list Numeric in the list 
of included packages, are you referring to the now-obsoleted Numerical 
python 24.2 dating back to 2001, or the replacement NumPy that is at the 
core of SciPy? Perhaps it is there for legacy reasons, but I thought the 
idea is that NumPy is to replace Numeric, not co-exist with it.

Anyway, this release is great news. I look forward to trying it out.
