[pymvpa] v0.4.7 - matplotlib.numerix import

Hi Thorsten,

thanks for the report -- great to see people trying bleeding edge (1.1
seems to be not even released yet... or am I wrong?)

I guess you have found an antique piece which was there to be compatible
with the state-of-art modules of the past: actually that numerix.ma is
pretty much a convenience one itself:

try:
    from numpy.ma import *        # numpy 1.05 and later
except ImportError:
    from numpy.core.ma import *   # earlier
def getmaskorNone(obj):
    _msk = getmask(obj)
    if _msk is nomask:
        return None
    return _msk
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/numerix/ma/__init__.py

so -- fixed in GIT... since you are living bleeding edge - I guess you are
running pymvpa using version in GIT directly?
