[IPython-user] small problem and feature request for 0.8 egg

[Ryan Krauss]

I am trying out Enstaller this morning as a way to get my students up
and running with minimal effort on their part.  I added the ipython
repository easily enough and installed the 0.8.0 egg, but I ran into
one small problem:

c:\python24\lib\site-packages\ipython-0.8.0-py2.4.egg\IPython\numutils.py
     34 import sys
     35
---> 36 import Numeric
     37 from Numeric import *
     38

ImportError: No module named Numeric
WARNING: Loading of IPython.numutils failed.

As part of my own preferences, I don't have Numeric installed at all
(strictly numpy).  Do I just need to comment out the last half of this
line of my ipythonrc-scipy file:
import_all scipy IPython.numutils

(sorry I forgot to mention that I am starting IPython with -pylab -p scipy).

Does the 0.8.0 egg include the rc files?  Did the ones I have come
from the enthought egg?  Do I need to import IPython.numutils at all?
Is there a Numeric-free version of numutils?

Lastly, can the egg be made to add a start menu short cut that
includes "-pylab -p scipy"?

Thanks,

Ryan
