ANN: Numarray-0.3.5 bugfix release

[Todd Miller]

Numarray 0.3.5
---------------------------------

Numarray is an array processing package designed to efficiently
manipulate large multi-dimensional arrays.  Numarray is modelled after
Numeric and features c-code generated from python template scripts,
the capacity to operate directly on arrays in files, and improved type
promotions.

Version 0.3.5 is a bugfix release:

1. Fixed bug in numarray.NumArray._copyFrom which broke array copies 
within an
array. Basically, an array copying part of itself onto another part of 
itself
produced incorrect results.

2. Cleaned up setup.py to avoid generating code unless actually 
installing.  Now you
can ask setup.py for help ("python setup.py --help") without feeling 
like it's running
wild.

3. Modified LinearAlgebra2.MLab to avoid use of properties, potentially 
making it work
with Python versions < 2.2.  Since there's still no regression test for 
MLab, this is iffy,
but "mean", at least, appeared to work.  E-mail jmiller@stsci.edu if you 
find numarray
MLab problems.
