[Deb-scipy-devel] problems with numpy on debian unstable

[Hanno Klemm]

Hello Debian scipy-developers team,

I tried to install python-numpy python-numpy-ext and python-numpy-dev
under debian unstable.

I then got  the following error messages:
klemm at ligeti:~> python2.4
Python 2.4.4c0 (#2, Jun 14 2006, 22:35:41)

    main()
  File "new.py", line 45, in main
    iter = int(sys.argv[1])
IndexError: list index out of range

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? if I try under python2.3 I
get the same result.

Best regards,
