Timeline for 1.4.0 and installer for Windows 64bit ?
Dear folks, just over a month ago there was a thread about plans for numpy, and IIRC somebody had volunteered to try and put together a working AMD64 version with an installer. Since then I have not heard about the issue again - but I may have missed part of the discussion. Have the plans firmed up by now? Is there a tentative date for a beta or RC? In particular: how much hope is there for a reasonably usable AMD64 numpy under Windows? Thanks for any update! Klaus Nökel
This one works for me with python2.6 for amd64 from python.org: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.3.0/numpy-1.3.0.win-amd6... Thanks to David C. I believe Klaus Noekel wrote:

There were some discussion about pushing 1.4.0 'early', but instead, I think we let it slipped - one consequence is that there will be enough time for 1.4.0 to be released with proper AMD64 support on windows. The real issue is not numpy per-se, but making scipy work on top of numpy in 64 bits mode. It is hard to give an exact date as to when those issues will be fixed, but it is being worked on. cheers, David
A suggestion: How about releasing Numpy for the AMD64 version first (without Scipy) and then follow up with a later release with Scipy support? This would satisfy Numpy-only users which can't be a bad thing rather than having a version that is not usable (I believe) by either Numpy or Scipy users.

Because scipy needs code I would pull out from numpy. You can build numpy for amd64 by yourself at the moment, BTW. I am afraid that distributing one numpy binary now would only makes things more confusing when scipy for amd64 will be out, as it will not work with this numpy, but only with a later one. cheers, David
