[Python-modules-team] Bug#703001: python-numpy: missing file 'numpy.i' in python-numpy and related packages

[Julian Taylor]

Package: python-numpy
Version: 1:1.7.0-1
Severity: normal

forwarded from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-numpy/+bug/1154434:

Neither the 'python-numpy' nor 'python-numpy-doc' package contains a
file called 'numpy.i', required for writing NumPy compatible
C-code-based Python extensions/modules.

According to the documentation, this file is supposed to be included in
docs/numpy/numpy.i, but it clearly hasn't been flagged for inclusion in
the Deb packages.

I recently filed a bug in scipy to synchronize their numpy.i with
numpys, as they have diverged quite a lot:
