[chimera-dev] numpy library compiled to run with other libraries inside Chimera

[Terry Lang]

Hey Guys!

         I use Chimera as a back end library for a bunch of my code.  I 
occasionally run into a function that an external library, scipy for 
example, has already implemented.  I have found the chimera flag that 
allows me to import python libraries for use.  However, because numpy is 
already distributed with Chimera, importing libraries that depend on 
numpy is almost _impossible_.  We run into a variety of version and 
compiler issues that are very difficult to work around.  Would it be 
possible to get more transparent documentation on how the numpy library 
is compiled and when it will be upgraded in a particular release?  
(NOTE:  We actually have this problem right now, so even an email with a 
description of the current nightly build set up would be SUPER helpful!).

Thanks in advance,
Terry
