Re: Matlab central and octave

[address@hidden]

Please inform which programming languiges are allowed in writing software for
Octave-forge.
There are some people interesting what about routines written in Python?
There are lots of tools for sticking of MATLAB & Python code, but can you
handle the code by yourself if it will be sended to octave-forge? They are
not fond of doing that by themselves.
Suppose all needed requirements (Python, numpy, scipy) is installed in a
user computer, will it be hard for you to add to makefiles the code
required? And handle situation properly, if something is missed?
