Does the Numeric team intend to provide a build of Numeric 23.6 for Python 2.4? If not, I have managed to build a release using the free-as-in-beer version of MSVC 7.1, aka MS Visual C++ Toolkit 2003. I basically followed the directions here: http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/index.html and altered setup.py to use Numeric's own math libraries rather than the atlas libs. The build has been tested only by running the supplied Test/test.py program after installing the package. For the moment, you can download the file from http://www4.ncsu.edu/~jdbrandm/Numeric-23.6.win32-py2.4.exe but I would prefer it to be hosted on the Sourceforge download page for the project.
