[Numpy-discussion] test issue

[belinda thom]

Hello,

I've been going thru Dave Kuhlman's "SciPy Course Outline" and found  
out about test functions -- very cool. Except that on my end, not all  
tests pass (appended below). Is this a problem for other people? Is  
it something I should worry about?

Here's my setup: Mac G5 w/OS X 10.4.8, using MacPython 2.4,  
numpy.__version__ is 1.0, matplotlib.__version__ 0.87.7 and  
Numeric.__version__ 24.2

Thanks,

--b
