[Numpy-discussion] ANN: Numpy runs on Python 3

[Tiziano Zito]

hi, 
it's probably obvious for most of the subscribers, but still:

svn clone http://svn.scipy.org/svn/numpy/trunk/ numpy

should actually read:

svn checkout http://svn.scipy.org/svn/numpy/trunk/ numpy

that said, I'm looking forward to the git migration ;-)

ciao,
tiziano (member of the PR department @ EuroScipy :)
