Just a side comment: ActiveState is distributing (since June)

"New packages for data centric financial modeling and scientific
computing applications (available in ActivePython Business,
Enterprise, and OEM Editions):
   * NumPy: The fundamental library needed for financial and
scientific computing with Python
   * SciPy: A suite of scientific tools for Python, depends on the
NumPy library
   * matplotlib: A Python numerical plotting library
"

because of changes in US financial regulation. So maybe we get some
additional testing out of it.

Didn't Ralph catch the warnings on import for the released binaries? Maybe he missed one. Also, I don't recall seeing seeing that one before, not that it is necessarily a problem.
