* What versions of Python should be supported by what version of numpy ? Are we to expect users to rely on Python2.5 for the upcoming 1.3.x ? Could we have some kind of timeline on the trac site or elsewhere (and if such a timeline exists already, can I get the link?) ?
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
I am strongly against dropping 2.4 support anytime soon. I haven't seen a strong rationale for using >= 2.5 features in numpy, supporting 2.4 is not so hard, and 2.4 is still the default python version on many OS (mac os X 10.4 I believe, RHEL for sure, open solaris). David
