Python(x,y) 2.7.2.3 Released!


Hi All,

Thanks to Symantec's overzealous anti virus software, we are pleased to announce that Python(x,y) has been released. Beside updating xydoc and SWIG to avoid the false virus warning given by Symantec's Norton Anti Virus it fixes a regression in PyQt's installation. Also we've caught up with most of the recent package updates.

Please report any issues you may have on the mailing list and/or in the issue tracker.

Tentative plans for the next release:
  • Python 2.7.3
  • ITK 4.10 + itkvtkglue
  • Virtualenv + wrapper
  • ...
Happy hacking!

Python(x,y) is a free Python distribution providing a ready-to-use scientific development software for numerical computations, data analysis and data visualization based on Python programming language, Qt graphical user interfaces (and development framework) and Spyder interactive development environment. Its purpose is to help scientific programmers used to interpreted languages (such as MATLAB or IDL) or compiled languages (C/C++ or Fortran) to switch to Python.
