Now available at vpython.org is a VPython 5.4 package for Python 2.6
for Windows and Mac, which includes numpy 1.5.1. Wihtout this, anyone
who wanted to use both VPython and scipy had no solution, because
there was no scipy module for Python 2.7 or Python 3.1, and the
existing VPython 5.32 for Python 2.6 included numpy 1.3, whereas scipy
now requires at least numpy 1.4.
The modularity of Python modules isn't as modular as one would like.
When VPython 5.32 was released for Python 2.6, the current numpy was
1.3. Then later numpy was upgraded to 1.4, and scipy was upgraded to
require numpy 1.4, leaving a dilemma. Sigh.
