I'm using Pydev w/ Eclipse that supports pylint. I usually don't have any
warning from pylint about numpy. Could you be more specific ?
___


For instance, make a file warn.py containing the line:

from numpy import *

Then

[EMAIL PROTECTED] scratch]$ pychecker warn

among the warning returned are

...
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/lib/type_check.py:30: Local variable
(typecodes) shadows global defined on line 0 in file <unknown>
...
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/lib/utils.py:287: (object) shadows
builtin

34 errors suppressed, use -#/--limit to increase the number of errors
displayed


Neither is an error, but it is bad style to shadow builtins and unexpected
errors can result. The second warning refers to this bit of code:

def info(object=None,maxwidth=76,output=sys.stdout,toplevel='numpy'):
   """Get help information for a function, class, or module.

      Example:
         >>> from numpy import *
         >>> info(polyval) # doctest: +SKIP

         polyval(p, x)

           Evaluate the polymnomial p at x.

           Description:
               If p is of length N, this function returns the value:
               p[0]*(x**N-1) + p[1]*(x**N-2) + ... + p[N-2]*x + p[N-1]
   """
   global _namedict, _dictlist
   import pydoc

   if hasattr(object,'_ppimport_importer') or \
      hasattr(object, '_ppimport_module'):
       object = object._ppimport_module
   elif hasattr(object, '_ppimport_attr'):
       object = object._ppimport_attr
