Download Numeric Python

(Last Modified: 21-Feb-97)

The current release of Numeric Python is 1.0beta1. This is approximately the 15th release of NumPy. It all began with a 0.1 release in September of 1995, and has progressed through numerous alpha releases and major version changes all released within the matrix-sig (a wonderful group of early testers) to the point where there is now a somewhat stable system available for general use. Nevertheless, this is still beta software, and you should not download this release if the possibility of segmentation faults frightens you. That said, here it is.

Binary Distribution for Windows NT/95 and PythonWin

You must have Mark Hammond's PythonWin-10-b7 or later installed for this to work. The following binary file is a self-extracting setup program for Numeric Python based on Mark's extension install scripts. This should be as easy as running this file on your computer and following the setup instructions.

Windows Binary Distribution - NumPy-10-b1.EXE (399K).

Source Distribution

Python1.4 Final is needed to build this release. No previous versions will work. It is much easier to build Numeric Python if you have access to the python source tree; however, it can be built as a clean extension from a full Python1.4 Final installation. These sources will build under either Unix or Windows machines. Note: the installation instructions are only relevant for Unix systems. If you want to build from sources under Windows, you're on your own (see above for the nicely packaged binary distribution instead).
