Hi,

This issue has been talked about many times here, but I would like to
bring it up again.  That is the change from Numeric to numpy, as well
as the dependence on Scientific python.  For discussions about numpy,
see the discussion threads starting at:

Numpy v. Numeric; Scipy V Scientific:

Numeric is no longer maintained (and I think possibly deliberately
broken, well at least not fixed, to encourage people to change).  We
had previously considered to move to numpy but decided not to mainly
because ScientificPython also depends on Numeric.  But now if you go
to the ScientificPython web page,
http://starship.python.net/~hinsen/ScientificPython/, there is nothing
there.


well thats not the scientific python website anymore unfortunatley,
However, scientific python is still developed see

dirac.cnrs-orleans.fr/plone/software/*scientific**python*/
 which also has a mercurial repository and a list of fixes (including
numpy support!)

Ah, that's what happened to it.  I'll have to update the
http://nmr-relax.com website.  Anyway, I wasn't planning on abanding
it but just allowing it to become optional (well that's if someone
decides to add another PDB reader to relax).

Cheers,

Edward
