scitools.std broken with numpy 1.9

[GoogleCodeExporter]

NumPy 1.9 (released August 2014, I think) removes oldnumeric backwards 
compatibility. This causes a crash in numpyutils.py e.g. when doing from 
scitools.std import *.

Python 2.7.9 on OSX 10.10.1. py27-scitools installed via MacPorts.

Python 2.7.9 (default, Dec 13 2014, 15:13:49)

Was this tested with the latest commit in the scitools repository?

The py27-scitools package from MacPorts was used. It looks like this is using 
the 0.9.0 release:

I just used MacPorts to install it, so don’t know for sure which revision it 
is. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is not the newest though.

What I can find immediately is that is is version 0.9.0 (which is the newest 
one as far as I can tell), but I will do some digging to find the exact 
revision.

Try

hg clone https://hpl%40simula.no@code.google.com/p/scitools/ 
cd scitools
sudo python setup.py install

Then you get the latest version. We recently did some adjustments for numpy 1.9.

I haven’t found out exactly which patch I got from MacPorts, but I don’t 
seem to have any of the patchsets added in 2014, so I guess the version on 
MacPorts is quite old.

Anyways it worked without issues to make the install from the repo as suggested 
on the webpage.

I’ll notify the MacPorts maintainer about the outdated package.

This seems to be working with the latest version from the source repository. 
Marking this as fixed.
