 In the hope to get a numpy 1.5.x branch started soon, the attached patch
 against numpy svn trunk r8464 does: [[BR]]

 1) remove the datetime functionality.[[BR]]
 2) restore ABI compatibility with numpy 1.4.[[BR]]
 3) enable numpy to build and run on Python 2.7 and 3.1.[[BR]]


 The patch is based on the following changesets/tickets: [[BR]]

 http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/changeset/8098 [[BR]]
 http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/changeset/8113 [[BR]]
 http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/changeset/8107 [[BR]]
 http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/changeset/8108 [[BR]]
 http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/changeset/8115 [[BR]]
 http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1502


 I verified that the patched numpy:


 1) builds and tests (without crash) on Python 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, and 3.1 for
 Windows, 32 and 64 bit.[[BR]]

 2) works with some popular Python extensions, which were built against
 numpy 1.4.1 and Python 2.6 for Windows: matplotlib, numexpr, h5py, pygame,
 pytables, scipy.[[BR]]

 3) can be used to build binaries of some popular Python packages that work
 with numpy 1.4.1 on Python 2.6 for Windows: matplotlib, scipy.


 The development and test environment is Windows 7, Visual Studio, Platform
 SDK, Intel Fortran/MKL based.
