- NumPy is a general-purpose array-processing package designed to
- efficiently manipulate large multi-dimensional arrays of arbitrary
- records without sacrificing too much speed for small multi-dimensional
- arrays. NumPy is built on the Numeric code base and adds features
- introduced by numarray as well as an extended C-API and the ability
- to create arrays of arbitrary type which also makes NumPy suitable for
- interfacing with general-purpose data-base applications.
- There are also basic facilities for discrete fourier transform, basic
- linear algebra and random number generation.
- If you need to build numpy for debugging, set DEBUG=y. If you use
- software which is having problems with numpy's new relaxed strides
- checking, set NPY_RSC=0.
- It is highly recommended to install libraries implementing BLAS and
- LAPACK before installing numpy. You may choose between:
- a) BLAS and LAPACK (reference but unoptimized and thus slow)
- b) OpenBLAS (optimized, provides LAPACK too)
- c) ATLAS and LAPACK (optimized), good to read README.ATLAS
- ATLAS and the corresponding optimized LAPACK are not available on
- SlackBuilds.org because the latest stable and rather old release of
- ATLAS doesn't compile on the present Slackware version.
- If you want to use the UMFPACK library instead of SuperLU to solve
- unsymmetric sparse linear systems, then run this Slackbuild with
- NO_UMFPACK set to "no" and then install scikit-umfpack on top of
- scipy. In this context, umfpack is an optional dependency for
- numpy.
- This SlackBuild installs the last numpy version with support for
- python2.
- IMPORTANT: The version installed by this SlackBuild does NOT include the
- oldnumeric and numarray compatibility modules since
- starting with version 1.9.0 these modules got removed by
- the numpy developers. If you need these compatibility
- modules please consider the numpy-legacy SlackBuild.
- THUS: This SlackBuild conflicts with the numpy-legacy
- SlackBuild which installs versions < 1.9.0!
