[SciPy-user] Bundling numpy/scipy with applications

[Sebastian Haase]

Hi,
This might be a heratic idea (in this context):

But how "bad" is it really, to just build all components,
put them in one place, and distribute them as a  zip/tar-archive ?
PYTHONPATH would need to be adjusted as needed - either in a place
like .bashrc or in 3-line script that would then substitute the
"python"-call.

This is of course least feancy, but might be most effective -
especially if it is only for a releatively small group of people.

Cheers,
Sebastian Haase
