[pypy-dev] Questions Regarding Scipy in Pypy (Not a Feature Request)

[Daπid]

I believe the reason is that they prefer to focus the development
effort into the more "basic" Numpy and from that go on. Numpy is not
fully implemented

I am working (actually, right now I am only in the "thinking" state)
on some modules of NumPy, maybe we could coordinate and give this a
boost.
