Hey Travis,
I was just browsing your latest numerix commit and had two questions
elif which[0] == "numpy":
from numpy.linalg import *
try:
from numpy.linalg.old import *
except:
pass
is this expected to work with numpy <0.9.6 as well as the latest
release, or just the latest? I'm happy either way, but just want to
know how to advise the users on which numpy versions are supported.
And on the try/except, would it suffice to just catch an ImportError?
We've been bitten before on these catchall exceptions.
Thanks
JDH

It should work with older versions, too. This change moved the Numeric
LinearAlgebra-compatibility aliases into numpy.linalg.old . If numpy.linalg.old
doesn't exist because numpy is not current, then the aliases should still be in
numpy.linalg .

Yes, I believe so.
