A big part of the issue is that getting many of those pdfs into NumPy would require putting many special functions into NumPy (some of which are actually coded in Fortran).
I much prefer to make SciPy an easy install for as many people as possible and/or work on breaking up SciPy into modular components that can be installed separately if needed. This was my original intention --- to make NumPy as small as possible. It's current size is driven by backwards compatibility, only. -Travis _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
