2. I do question whether weave really be in this core? I think it was in scipy_core before because it was needed to build some of scipy. 3. Now that I think about it, I also wonder if f2py should really be there -- especially since we are explicitly removing any fortran dependencies from the core.
It would seem to me that so long as: 1) both these tools have very general usefulness (and I think they do), and 2) are not installation problems (I don't believe they are since they themselves don't require any compilation of Fortran, C++ or whatever--am I wrong on that?) That they are perfectly fine to go into the core. In fact, if they are used by any of the extra packages, they should be in the core to eliminate the extra step in the installation of those packages.
