[SciPy-user] bvp

[Agile Aspect]

Hi - I tried version 0.2.2 using Python 2.4.2 from the command
line and it works great!

I have a related question which may be off topic.

When I run this test script from inside Eclipse using Python/Qt4
(the same C based Python I used to test bvp from the command
line) it generates the following error

                Traceback (most recent call last):
                 File 
"/home/ken/projects/workspace/cpp/bvp/src/test/ex1.py", line 24, in ?
                 solution = bvp.colnew.solve(
                AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'colnew'

Any ideas as to what might be causing this problem?

Is this permission problem? Would it be possible to use reflection
to get around it?

I've been using Eclipse/Python/Q4t for a couple of years and this
is the first time I've had this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
