Does anyone find it strange that the new versions of Numeric require Distutils? However the README says: Do not expect perfection: if you're trying out this release, it should be because you want to help debug and develop, not because you need a stable, working system immediately. Something as widely used as Numeric requires a module that is in it's beta version? Is this to force bug reports? -- Curtis Jensen cjensen@be-research.ucsd.edu http://www-bioeng.ucsd.edu/~cjensen/ FAX (425) 740-1451
