I took a brief look at it, and from the errors I have seen, one is cosmetic, the other one is a bit more involved (rewriting PyArray_Scalar unicode support). While it is not difficult in nature, the current code has multiple #ifdef of Py_UNICODE_WIDE, meaning it would require multiple configurations on multiple python versions to be tested. I don't think python 3.3 support is critical - people who want to play with bet interpreters can build numpy by themselves from master, so I am -1 on integrating this into 1.7. I may have a fix within tonight for it, though, David _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
