Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am not a developer so maybe I should not make suggestions, but I would |
| 4 |
like to mention that there is a group of scientific applications in |
| 5 |
Python. Some of them are now in dev-python category. It seems that there |
| 6 |
are still some unresolved issues there. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
First, there are three basic array packages: dev-python/numeric |
| 9 |
dev-python/numarray dev-python/numpy. They should be, at least optionally, |
| 10 |
built using lapack. This was discussed in the beginning of 2005, see |
| 11 |
#81520. I have just discovered that there is some update in the overlay. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Second, it was proposed (see #124276) to replace numeric and numarray with |
| 14 |
numpy, which I consider premature, as there are interesting modules and |
| 15 |
applications that do not use numpy yet. It would be advantageous, however, |
| 16 |
to be able to choose array type where available. For example: f2py now |
| 17 |
depends only on numeric, but when numpy is installed it uses it rather |
| 18 |
than numeric. Eventually I had to remove numpy and install f2py manually. |
| 19 |
As I remember, also pytables can use either numeric or numarray but |
| 20 |
presently depends only on the latter. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Should Scientific Python, now in python herd, be in sci? I have just |
| 23 |
submitted MMTK library, which was written by the same person, see #137989. |
| 24 |
This two packages probably should be maintained together. What about a |
| 25 |
nice, pure python, chemistry drawing program bkchem – see #95178. |
| 26 |

Best wishes, |
