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 -All these are available on SlackBuilds.org. - -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. Nevertheless, note that presently scikit-umfpack is not -available on SlackBuilds.org while its dependencies are. - -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! - -This numpy3 SlackBuild creates bindings for python3 and can be installed -without conflict alongside the standard numpy SlackBuild. |
