[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] New release of NumericPython 0.31

[Robin Friedrich]

Having a few problems with the Numeric release.
I built 0.30 with tar xvfm as instructed. (I'm not using .31 yet but I don't
think it relates to this problem.)

>From the tutorial:
1)  First problem is with the types.py file. For some reason when it's imported
vars(__builtins__) is an illegal argument while it works fine from the prompt.
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/local2/tools/lib/python/numeric/Numeric.py", line 9, in ?
    import string, types, math
  File "/local2/tools/lib/python/types.py", line 13, in ?
    if vars(__builtins__).has_key('complex'):
TypeError: vars() argument must have __dict__ attribute

2) The following basic function is worrisome as well...

>>> m = Matrix([[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]])
>>> m*m
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/local2/tools/lib/python/numeric/Matrix.py", line 74, in __mul__
NameError: MathError
