[SciPy-user] Re: ANN: SciPy 0.10 -- Scientific Computing with Python

That's a strange error.  I don't have a RH machine in front of me to test it
on, but on
my windows box, it doesn't occur.

PythonWin 2.1 (#15, Apr 23 2001, 18:00:35) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.

>>> 6.2 - 3.1
3.1000000000000001
>>> import gui_thread
>>> <wxPython imported>
>>> 6.2 - 3.1

3.1000000000000001

I'll check it again when a RH Linux box is handy.

thanks,
eric
