[SciPy-user] New user questions

Hi guys, I'm a new user to SciPy, seeking a Python alternative to MatLab. I'm installing on an OS X box and downloaded and installed the SciPy Superpack with SciPy 0.5.2. I noticed that much of the copyright notices said 2001, 2002. Is SciPy still under active development? When running scipy.test(10) I got: Warning: FAILURE importing tests for <module 'scipy.linsolve.umfpack.umfpack' from '...y/linsolve/umfpack/ umfpack.pyc'> Warning: FAILURE importing tests for <module 'scipy.linsolve.umfpack' from '.../linsolve/umfpack/__init__.pyc'> I can import scipy.linsolve and scipy.linsolve.umfpack, though. Should I be worried or not worry about this at all? :-) Cheers Nik
