Re: [Numpy-discussion] [Matplotlib-users] [matplotlib-devel] Unifying numpy, scipy, and matplotlib docstring formats

2007-02-18 Thread Barry Wark
Matt, Yes, I agree. I wasn't coming at so much from the goal of making Pylab a Matlab clone (as you point out, that's silly, and misses much of the advantage of Python), but rather from the goal of making interactive use as efficient as possible. When I fire up ipython -pylab to do some quick expl

2007-02-18 Thread David Cournapeau
Hi there, I am developing a building tool to automatically build the whole numpy/scipy/matplotlib set from sources including dependencies, and one of the problem I got is to force which blas/lapack version to use when building numpy and scipy. I thought that doing a BLAS=blaslib LAPA
