This part contains descriptions of the packages that are included with the distribution but which are not necessary for using Numeric arrays. The packages are for the most part in the Packages subdirectory of the source distribution, and can be installed anywhere in the Python module search path. Each has its own "setup.py" to use to build and install the package.
For historical reasons, some of these packages are currently installed inside the Numeric package rather than on their own. We hope to remedy this in the future.
The subdirectory Packages contains directories, each of which contains its own installation script setup.py. As with the main directory, these packages are generally compiled and installed using the command
The Makefile in the main directory will do this for all the packages provided.
In addition, many people make available libraries that use Numeric. At the moment a centralized reference for these does not exist, but they are usually announced on the discussion list; also check the project web page.
Packages MA and RNG were written by Paul Dubois, LLNL. Package RNG was written by Konrad Hinsen after modifying an earlier package UNRG by Paul Dubois and Fred Fritsch.
