NumPy 1.3.x should work with Python 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6. At some point we can drop 2.4, but I would like to wait a bit since we just dropped 2.3 support. The timeline is on the trac site: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/milestone/1.3.0
OK, great, thanks a lot.
* Talking about 1.3.x, what's the timeline? Are we still shooting for a release in 2008 or could we wait till mid Jan. 2009 ?
I am fine with pushing the release back, if there is interest in doing that. I have been mainly focusing on getting SciPy 0.7.x out, so I haven't been following the NumPy development closely. But it is good that you are asking for more concrete details about the next NumPy release. We need to start making plans. Does anyone have any suggestions about whether we should push the release back? Is 1 month long enough? What is left to do?
Well, on my side, there's some doc to be updated, of course. Then, I'd like to put the rec_functions that were developed in matplotlib to manipulate recordarrays. I haven't started yet, might be able to do so before the end of the year (not much to do, just a clean up and some examples). And what should we do with the genloadtxt function ?
Please feel free to update the release notes, which are checked into the trunk: http://scipy.org/scipy/numpy/browser/trunk/doc/release/1.3.0- notes.rst
Will do in good time. Thx again
