[SciPy-dev] Packaging Changes to Core in SVN

[Travis Oliphant]

Hi folks and Merry Christmas,

I hope this is the last of the major changes to the scipy core 
structure.  After playing around with various alternative homes for the 
fft, linear algebra, and random number routines, I think (with Robert's 
suggestiong) we've found a permanent home for them under

scipy.corefft
scipy.corelinalg
scipy.corerandom

In these packages we will try to import the full scipy versions of any 
routines (fft and inv in particular) so that full scipy installs can 
have improved (but possibly difficult to install) versions of these 
basic routines.

I am of a mind to get rid of lib out of scipy_core and move mtrand to 
scipy.  Then move dotblas to base and be done with the lib directory in 
scipy_core.   I'm beginning to see the wisdom in "flat is better than 
nested"

If we can get the any wrinkles out of the new structure, I'd like to 
make another release after the new year so that the improved packaging 
can start getting used.

Best,

-Travis
