Hi all,
The binary for OS-X on sourceforge is called:
numpy-1.3.0-py2.5-macosx10.5.dmg
However, as far as I can tell, it works just fine on OS-X 10.4, and maybe even 10.3.9.
I have to confess I don't understand mac os x backward compatibility story. Are you sure they are compatible ? Or is it just a happy accident ?
Perhaps a re-naming is in order? But to what?
I'd say:
numpy-1.3.0-py2.5-macosx10.4.dmg
but would folks think that it's only for 10.4?
maybe:
numpy-1.3.0-py2.5-macosx-python.org.dmg
to indicate that it's for the python.org build of python2.5, though I'v never seen anyone use that convention.
At that point, we could just drop macosx altogether I think. I changed the name convention for scipy build scripts.
cheers,
David
