[Numpy-discussion] problem building Numeric on python 2.5

[Sebastian Haase]

Hi,
It seems that there is a current discussion on python-dev
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?do=post_view_flat;post=497487;page=1;mh=-1;list=python;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC

and the warning should go away by 2.5b2
So: don't change any code quite yet ....

Cheers,
-Sebastian Haase
