Is there some way to easily obtain and install the ndimage component of scipy without installing the whole thing? I'm trying to migrate some old Numarray code that used ndimage and I don't want to have to install all of scipy just to use ndimage. -- Russell

There's a setup.py under scipy/ndimage in the source directory, and I believe you can use it to build the ndimage package separately. -- Pauli Virtanen

I believe some of the newer parts of ndimage depend on other parts of scipy. However, if you are only interested in replicating functionality of ndimage that existed in the numarray era you can grab a standalone version from here: http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/pyraf/stsci_python/current/... This version of ndimage is distributed as part of stsci_python. We try to keep it up-to-date with the scipy version sans the parts that depend on other scipy components.

I can't load it or ping it. Same thing from a remote ping web site. Thanks! James.
