Thanks for the hint. I'm currently reading through this document. I'm sure this will help a lot. convertcode.py doesn't seem to provided with current numpy releases. > Travis said in the thread: > http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2006-August/010085.html > "The transition approach is to use the compatibility layer first by > running oldnumeric.alter_code1.py and then running alter_code2.py which > will take you from the compatibility layer to NumPy (but alter_code2 is > not completed yet)." My experience is, that these scripts don't work at all (any more). frank _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
