Hello, Is there any reason why Numeric never became a "New" Python package with a __init__.py ? -Michel PS: I have been adding __init__.py to my installation for a long time now and it works just fine. For those who want to be able to import directly we could extend the python path in __init__ so that after an import Numeric all .so would be directly loadable -- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, we talked about it some but didn't want to break existing code. To my recollection nobody has suggested the trick you suggest here. I think it would work, although there are cases where people import Precision in a given module but not Numeric (the numeric objects they deal with get returned by C or Fortran calls). Anybody see any real downside here? -----Original Message----- Is there any reason why Numeric never became a "New" Python package with a __init__.py ? -Michel PS: I have been adding __init__.py to my installation for a long time now and it works just fine.

At least not immediately. Importing Numeric involves almost no overhead when you use array-generating modules anyway (they need to import at least multiarray). I'll make this modification to my installation and see if I get any bad surprises.
