I don't know if there are any Bottleneck users out there but I do know
that the Bottleneck 0.4 release was a mess (0.4.0, 0.4.1, 0.4.2,
0.4.3). So this time around I've made a beta release of Bottleneck
0.5:

https://github.com/downloads/kwgoodman/bottleneck/Bottleneck-0.5.0beta.tar.gz

Reports of success or failure of bottleneck.test() are appreciated.

*Release date: Not yet released, in development*

The fifth release of bottleneck adds four new functions, comes in a
single source distribution instead of separate 32 and 64 bit versions,
and fixes a bug in nanmedian:

**New functions**

- move_median(), moving window median
- partsort(), partial sort
- argpartsort()
- ss(), sum of squares, faster version of scipy.stats.ss

**Changes**

- Single source distribution instead of separate 32 and 64 bit versions
- nanmax and nanmin now follow Numpy 1.6 (not 1.5.1) when input is all NaN

**Bug fixes**

- #14 Support python 2.5 by importing `with` statement
- #22 nanmedian wrong for particular ordering of NaN and non-NaN elements
