[Numpy-discussion] Python 3 porting

[Pauli Virtanen]

Hi,

The test suite passes now on Pythons 2.4 - 3.1. Further testing is very
welcome -- also on Python 2.x. Please check that your favourite software
still builds and works with SVN trunk Numpy.

Currently, Scipy has some known failures because of

(i) removed new= keyword in numpy.histogram
(ii) Cython supports only native size/alignment PEP 3118 buffers, and
     Numpy arrays are most naturally expressed in the standardized
     sizes. Supporting the full struct module alignment stuff appears
     to be a slight PITA. I'll try to take a look at how to address
     this.

But everything else seems to work on Python 2.6.
