Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-scipy

Package conflicts with python 2.6.

According to [1] scipy 0.7 is mostly compatible with python 2.6:
"A significant amount of work has gone into making SciPy compatible
with Python 2.6; however, there are still some issues in this regard.
The main issue with 2.6 support is NumPy. On UNIX (including Mac OS
X), NumPy 1.2.1 mostly works, with a few caveats."

Numpy is build for python 2.6 in ubuntu.

There is a ppa for scipy 0.7 [2] for intrepid but that package does not build on jaunty. Raw scipy 0.7 sources build fine on jaunty with py2.6 if attached site.cfg is used.

Thanks for the hint. New version would require a FFe, though.

as python2.6 is the default, lets update to 0.7.

As long as someone volunteers to mind the package, I'm good with updating.

---------------
python-scipy (0.7.0-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream version (LP: #285936, #299375, #302649).
  * Apply changes from Debian's python-modules team, thanks!
  * debian/rules: make python-scipy ready for Python 2.6 (LP: #336239):
    - Include /usr/share/python/python.mk.
    - Pass $(py_setup_install_args) macro to setup.py install.
    - Remove some files present in new dist-packages directory too.
