I need to run SWIG to generate a shared object from C++ source that works with numpy.i. I'm considering installing the Scipy Superpack, but I have a question. If I install the Scipy Superpack, which has most of the packages I need, plus some others, will it be able to find "numpy/arrayobject.h"
It's probably there, yes, and you should be able to find it with: numpy.get_include() (use that in your setup.py)
the source files needed by gcc to compile the swig-generated C++ wrapper?
The trick here is which gcc -- Apple is fast to move forward, is on the bleeding edge with gcc -- the latest XCode uses LLVM, which is not compatible with older Python builds. I *think* the superpack is build against the pyton.org python builds (32 bit?) Anyway, the python,org 32 bit build requires an older gcc for building extensions -- you can get XCode 3from Apple Developer connection if you dig for it -- it works fine on 10.7, I hope it does on 10.8. I'm not totally sure about the 32/64 bit Intel build. The pythonmac list will be a help here.
