python-numpy
------------------------------------------
The fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python is
called NumPy.  This package contains a powerful N-dimensional array
object, sophisticated (broadcasting) functions, tools for integrating
C/C++ and Fortran code, and useful linear algebra, Fourier transform,
and random number capabilities.  It derives from the old Numeric code
base and can be used as a replacement for Numeric.  It also adds the
features introduced by numarray and can be used to replace numarray. 
Numeric users should find the transition very easy.  There is a module
(import numpy.lib.convertcode --- see the convertall and fromfile
functions in that module) that can make (most of) the necessary changes
to your Python code that used Numeric to make it work with the new
NumPy.

Runtime requirements:
  cygwin-1.7.5-1
  libgcc1-4.3.4-3
  liblapack0-3.2.1-1
  python-2.6.5-1

Build requirements:
(besides corresponding -devel packages)
  binutils-2.20.51-1
  cygport-0.9.83-1
  gcc4-core-4.3.4-3
  gcc4-fortran-4.3.4-3

Canonical download:

-------------------------------------------

Build instructions:
  unpack python-numpy-1.4.1-X-src.tar.bz2
    if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
	 unpacked under /usr/src automatically
  cd /usr/src
  cygport ./python-numpy-1.4.1-X.cygport all

This will create:
  /usr/src/python-numpy-1.4.1-X-src.tar.bz2
  /usr/src/python-numpy-1.4.1-X.tar.bz2

A list of the files in the binary package is available from the
command-line with "cygcheck -l python-numpy", or online at
<http://cygwin.com/packages/python-numpy/>.
