This is to announce the release of SciPy Core 0.4.X (beta) It is available at sourceforge which you can access by going to http://numeric.scipy.org Thanks to all who helped me with this release, especially Robert Kern Pearu Peterson Now, let's start getting this stable.... -Travis Oliphant

numarray weave commit? weave maintainer?
by Todd Miller 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I have a patch for weave for numarray which passes all of the default self-tests. In doing my final checkout, I noticed that weave.test(level=10) has some errors and eventually segfaults... for Numeric. This was on RHEL3 with Python-2.4.1. Is anyone actively maintaining weave? Does anyone have a problem with me committing changes which enable numarray to pass weave.test() even though the level=10 tests are still showing problems for both numarray and Numeric? Todd

This is fixed in svn. So, try newcore from svn. On windows XP box with latest mingw32 I have experienced similar problems with float versions of inverse hyperbolic functions: it appears that while asinhf is defined then atanhf is not, I am in a middle of debugging process with it right now..

Supported Python versions?
by cookedm＠physics.mcmaster.ca 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Currently, INSTALL.txt says we support Python 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 (and presumably 2.4 :). How useful is 2.1 and 2.2 support? Does anybody test on these? I'd say that 2.3 support is still important, but if no one's checking for 2.1 or 2.2 compatibility, should we bother claiming they're suppported? Right now, for instance, scipy.base won't compile with 2.2. -- |>|\/|< /--------------------------------------------------------------------------\ |David M.

Install of scipy core for current scipy users
by Travis Oliphant 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

If you are a current user of scipy and want to try out the new scipy core. You can do so. However, the default install will change four __init__.py files on your system (which will probably "break" the rest of scipy). Hopefully we will get scipy as a whole to work with the new system shortly. There has also been talk of putting together a simple install to fixup the __init__ files so that old scipy and new scipy_core can live together peacefully (anyone who can help with that is welcomed). scipy\__init__.py scipy\linalg\__init__.py scipy\fftpack\__init__.py scipy\stats\__init__.py are the affected files. The ones from scipy can just be copied back, but then you won't get the functions from new scipy. -Travis

So make sure to post an announcement to this list. Also, I have been pre-occupied with the new core system. Also, the move to svn put a big delay on placing any fixes into scipy as several people lost write access. So, don't be discouraged. There have been some growing pains this summer. We also need more people who are willing to have write access to the actual source tree. Any takers? (I won't just let anybody make changes, but if you've already contributed to SciPy in some fashion, you are a likely candidate...) -Travis O.

Release going to happen tonight.
by Travis Oliphant 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

With Pearu's commits, I'm about ready to make a beta release. Now, where do I place it? I'll probably put it on the sourceforge site as well as make a link on numeric.scipy.org. What do you all think? -Travis P.S. I resolved my rpm building error by deleting an old buildroot tree in /var/tmp. If anybody else has the same problem, you might look into deleting old copies of the rpm buildroot tree. Now, I have shiny rpm's of the distribution... -Travis

status of newcore and f2py

Hi, When forcing f2py to use newcore, that is, when changing #include "Numeric/arrayobject.h" to #include "scipy/arrayobject.h" in newcore/scipy/f2py2e/src/fortranobject.h, then I get the folloing messages /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c: In function 'fortran_setattr': /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:233: warning: implicit declaration of function '_PyArray_multiply_list' /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c: In function 'copy_ND_array': /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:980: warning: passing argument 2 of 'cast' makes pointer from integer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:980: warning: passing argument 3 of 'cast' makes integer from pointer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:980: warning: passing argument 4 of 'cast' makes pointer from integer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:980: warning: passing argument 5 of 'cast' makes pointer from integer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:1004: warning: passing argument 2 of 'cast' makes pointer from integer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:1004: warning: passing argument 3 of 'cast' makes integer from pointer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:1004: warning: passing argument 4 of 'cast' makes pointer from integer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:1004: warning: passing argument 5 of 'cast' makes pointer from integer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:1023: warning: passing argument 2 of 'cast' makes pointer from integer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:1023: warning: passing argument 3 of 'cast' makes integer from pointer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:1023: warning: passing argument 4 of 'cast' makes pointer from integer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c:1023: warning: passing argument 5 of 'cast' makes pointer from integer without a cast /tmp/tmpqynjjs/src/fortranobject.c: At top level: /usr/local/include/python2.3/scipy/__multiarray_api.h:681: warning: 'import_array' defined but not used when compiling fortranobject.c and when trying to import the corresponding extension module, I get >>> import foo Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: ./foo.so: undefined symbol: _PyArray_multiply_list So, we need to have a newcore replacement for _PyArray_multiply_list. Is there anything available already? Pearu

Travis, I used to have access, but my password seems to have lapsed. There are a few cleanups and comments I could make to those small parts of Scipy I contributed. I also extended the sort functions in numarray and might look into porting them to the new core.
