Solving linear matrix equations with scipy

Hi all,

Are there any efforts to add solvers for linear matrix equations to
scipy ?

Is this only true for Panther?  What's the situation (re: libraries)
with Jaguar?

If you get the latest developer tools, they should be included:

Reboot and Zope Upgrade on SciPy.org

Hi all,

There will be a short (possibly longer than short, if all doesn't go 
well) service outage in a couple of hours on scipy.org (sometime between 
6 and 7PM CST).  All scipy.org/scipy.net services will be unavailable 
during this time.  This includes mailing lists, the website, CVS, etc. 
I will be performing routine maintenence, a kernel upgrade, and a Zope 
upgrade.  I expect the outage to last about five to ten minutes, though 
Zope has historically thwarted my attempts to achieve a quick and 
painless upgrade.

Nothing should change significantly on the server, as the Zope upgrade 
is minor (2.6.1 to 2.6.2).  There are plans afoot to bring SciPy.org 
into the modern age with a migration to Plone instead of the older CMF 
that we're currently using.  The planners (mainly me) are adragging 
their afeet, however, so there's no telling when the switch will be 
pulled.  If you have useful content (or merely content you are fond of) 
on the site that uses DTML, it would be in all of our interests for you 
to consider converting it to using ZPT or structured text.  DTML is 
apparently deprecated in Plone, and there also seems to be some other 
content type issues that we'll be fighting with one day in the not too 
distant future.  Let me know if you have anything there, and I'll see if 
I can assist with getting it ready for the migration to Plone.

Holler if this service outage will cause significant pain for anyone.

Thanks!

SciPy.org is back up

Hi all,

The upgrades seem to have gone smoothly, and the website, lists, mail, 
CVS, etc. should all be available again on scipy.org.  If you run into 
any problems, let me know.

Thanks!

Problem with scipy_distutils

Hello,

I'm trying build a FORTRAN module using scipy_distutils. Due to some
hidden dynamic libraries I'm trying to use the "runtime_library_dirs"
in the extension definition. But with the "ifc" for Linux I get
warnigs:

ifc: Command line warning: ignoring unknown option '-R/usr/local/fitools/linux/lib'

ifc does not know the "-R" switch, but requires "-Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker ". 

I thougt, after looking into the code, adding a method

    def runtime_library_dir_option(self, dir):
        return "-Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker " + dir

should do the trick, but unfortunately it does not. I still get the
"-R" in the link command. What can be done about this?

Kind regards

I remember that this issue has been come up earlier but I don't exactly
recall the solution. What Python, ifc versions are you using?
This "-R" switch comes from runtime_library_dir_option method
of distutils/unixccompiler.py, see the comment in this file,
sending a fix to Python people might be a good idea.

g95 for OSX

Just to let folks know, there is a binary of the g95 FORTRAN compiler 
for OSX available on the HPC site (http://hpc.sourceforge..net). Not 
sure if it will work with f2py, but I will give it a try this 
afternoon.

I'm using ifc 7.1 and python 2.3. I found runtime_library_dir_option
and read the message about some buggy code, but the "-Xlinker" option
is specific to ifc so I don't think it should be solved in
distutils/unixccompiler.py, but there where the FORTRAN specific parts
of the code are defined, so the class intel_ia32_fortran_compiler in
scipy_distutils/command/build_flib.py would be the place to go, but it
does not work, maybe because ccoompiler is used for linking instead of
an fortran_compiler class.
