The README in numarray-0.9/Examples refers to the non-existent file setup.py (at least in that directory). There are other files called setup.py elsewhere in the tarball, but they don't look like they are supposed to compile the examples.
What am I missing?
Nothing. Those are dead comments in the README (they didn't survive the "numarray re-packaging"). There is now a single setup.py for all numarray packages in the root numarray directory.
Ok. In that case changing the README would be a good idea in order to avoid confusion.
To install the examples, just install numarray. The examples are then found in the package numarray.examples.convolve.
Ok. I see the examples are in the Debian package python2.3-numarray-ext.
If you want to write your own extension, my advice is to stick with the numpy compatible interfaces. A close second is the numarray "high level" interface.
I see. You mean use #include "arrayobject.h" right? BTW, the high level API example in convolve uses #include "libnumarray.h" even though the documentation refers to #include "numarray.h" Which of these should be used? Actually, it might be an idea to state explicitly in 12.3-12.6 which header files should be use. Possibly include them in the example code itself. I'm considering just using the Numeric C API on the assumption that is will be easier to use (since I am a beginner). Is this assumption accurate? Thanks for all the help. Faheem.
