 Replying to [comment:26 oliphant]:
 > I just applied the fix in r5679.  Can somebody test it on Python 2.3?

 The fix works. I no longer have any import errors. See the attached numpy-
 test-r5694.out file for the current output.

 I only have one question left: "What do the 'S' characters between all the
 dots mean?" (you have to scroll all the way to the right)

 {{{

 Do they mean skipped? And if so, what did it skip and why? Is skipping
 tests a problem? If it doesn't mean skipped, what does it mean?
