Hello,

I've been developing a numpy based package that I'd like to share with this list, but I need to test it on windows first. Is there any news concerning numpy installers for python-2.6 on windows, and is there any chance of installing on Vista?

There will be 2.6 installers for numpy 1.3. I am not aware of any vista problems as long as python itself and numpy are installed for all users - I would like to know about them otherwise,

Thanks David. Any ideas about the release date? http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/roadmap is not up to date. Darren

Are there any plans to back-port the required fixes to the numpy 1.2 branch in order to provide numpy 1.2 on Windows? If numpy 1.3 is due out fairly shortly, this isn't so pressing I suppose.

No, the changes required are too significant, unfortunately. In principle, it is of course possible, but that would take too much time.

However, having numpy 1.2 available would be helpful for Windows users, especially if it allows them a more gradual transition from numpy 1.1 to numpy 1.3 as I'm sure there will be a few deprecations/API changes to deal with.

Numpy 1.2 is already availableon windows - only not for python2.6, David
