[SciPy-dev] NumPy f2py GSOC project

[David Huard]

Ross,

I still don't understand how you'll test the py3k version of f2py if numpy
is not ported first ? I would have thought the first step in porting numpy
would be to port the ndarray type and its methods. But maybe that's already
too ambitious for a gsoc ?

Cheers,

David
