Hi Sebastian, Thanks for that link and your notes. I was under the impression, that the .pyc files will be used (if found) by python to speed up execution of scripts... and so we packaged, deployed and installed the .py/.pyc files on to the ppc-target system. That package includes, site.py(c), ty

Trouble with numpy-0.9.4 and numpy-0.9.5

Hello, I use the Python Numeric package extensively, and had been an avid user of the "old" scipy. In my view, both pieces of software are truly first rate, and have greatly improved my productivity in the area of scientific analysis. Thus, I was excited to make the transition to the new scipy cor
