Scipy and GDAL on Win32
by Jose Luis Gomez Dans Feb. 1, 2006

Hi! I want to use the GDAL library to access geographic data sets. However, the only binaries provided come with a standard python installation. I would like to use a combination of scipy and matplotlib to analyse Geographic datasets, so I need both Scipy (+matplotlib) and GDAL from the fwtools package (I can't compile from source in my work PC). Is there a straightforward way to use both packages together? As I said on the subject, I have Win2k. Many thanks! Jose -- Lust, ein paar Euro nebenbei zu verdienen? Ohne Kosten, ohne Risiko!

I am having a lot of sucess updating packages by just changing setup.py from scipy_distutils.core to numpy.distutils.core but I was wondering how to change, from scipy import scipy_version for the latest scipy from subversion. Thanks in advance. Cheers, -Morgan

The new SciPy.org
by Joe Cooper Feb. 1, 2006

Feb. 1, 2006

Hi all, As threatened, the new Moin wiki has taken over the SciPy.org site. The migration has proven even more complicated than anticipated (and I anticipated a lot of complexity), so some services remain on the old server as of this morning. This will be wrapped up later today, after I get some sleep. Some of the things that have gone well: - The wiki is great. Andrew and Oliphant and lots of others did a fantastic job on it. - Mailing list archive links have an accurate Moved Temporarily redirect (i.e. google links to scipy archives will continue to work). I need to hash out with Travis how he'd like to handle the mailing list archives going forward, as he wrote the scripts that integrated them into Plone, and obviously those aren't going to work in Moin. I wrote something in Perl in the meantime, but I imagine that'll go away as soon as Travis becomes aware of it. - It will be possible to redirect most "sections" of the old plone site to a similar section on the Moin site...I just need to figure out which sections from Plone apply to what in the Wiki. This will be a time-consuming thing, but is probably worth the trouble in order to keep some google links working reasonably well some of the time. Some things that remain outstanding: - Mail and list migration. I don't expect trouble with this, it just takes a long time, and requires attention to a lot of boring details. - Takeover of the old IP, so that DNS service for the "scipy.org" domain is taken over by the new server. This one is moderately tricky, since we have a half-dozen delegated domains for the other projects hosted on the server (ipython, neuroimaging, etc.). Those have to be merged back into the scipy zone. I'm sure there are problems somewhere...But it's running relatively well, with at least working content everywhere I thought to poke. Holler if you see anything glaringly stupid caused by the change. Thanks!
