[opensuse-factory] python-scipy in openSUSE 12.2
I notice that currently python-numpy and python-matplotlib, arguably 2 of the 3 most critical science, engineering, and mathematics-related python packages, are shipped with openSUSE and have been for at least several releases. The third, python-scipy, however, is not shipped with factory. It is currently well-maintained within devel:languages:python, and doesn't appear to have any extra dependencies. I was wondering if there are any important reason that has been so far preventing its inclusion in openSUSE:factory and, if not, whether it can be included with openSUSE 12.1. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

+1! I support researchers who have managed to port their Matlab signal processing code to Python using the three referenced packages, plus a few others. This is a huge boost for the Open Source movement and saves buckets of money. A single license for Matlab plus a couple toolboxes easily exceeds $3,500 US. BTW, I've seen others use Octave and Qtoctave as Matlab surrogates.

I would say this is just a mater of someone being willing to maintain the package in Factory and submitting an SR.
