Does pip and PyPi "officially" support meta-packages like that? i.e. I take it that scipy-stack would be a package that had nothing except dependencies. I do like the idea. Getting a bit OT for the numpy list, but... As I understand it, there was a stumbling block with wheels for the SciPy stack around iPython and readline -- some systems require th readline package, some don't. As I write this, I can't remember why it would be the lest bit hard to simply require readline in teh Mac Wheels, but there was some debate on the iPython list, and it seemed not-so-easy to resolve... -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
