+Name: numpy
+Version: 2.0.0
+Summary: NumPy: array processing for numbers, strings, records, and objects.
+Url: http://numpy.scipy.org
+DownloadUrl: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=175103
+Description:
+    NumPy is a general-purpose array-processing package designed to
+    efficiently manipulate large multi-dimensional arrays of arbitrary
+    records without sacrificing too much speed for small multi-dimensional
+    arrays.  NumPy is built on the Numeric code base and adds features
+    introduced by numarray as well as an extended C-API and the ability to
+    create arrays of arbitrary type which also makes NumPy suitable for
+    interfacing with general-purpose data-base applications.
+    
+    There are also basic facilities for discrete fourier transform,
+    basic linear algebra and random number generation.
