Re: [Numpy-discussion] Optionally using Numeric in another compiled extension package.

If you could do: try: import Numeric haveNumeric = 1 except: haveNumeric = 0

in some initialization routine, then you could use this flag. Alternately you could test on the fly 'Numeric' in [m.__name__ for m in sys.modules]

Thanks, but I'm talking about doing this at the C++ level in an extension package, not at the Python level. This kind of thing is Soo much easier in Python, of course! -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
