Hello,Guys.I have some problem with scipy.weave.
I test it on windows sp 3. I have installed python 2.7.3 from official site. Also, I have installed with pip modules numpy 1.6.2 и scipy 0.10.1 . I have installed mircosoft visual studio 2008 c/c++ (vcsetup.exe 83 mb) from microsoft site. Also, I have installed MinGW with gcc 4.6.2 . I have added 'C:\MinGW\bin'to variable PATH.
When I run example script C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\scipy\weave\examples\array3d.py
I get errors from Python's IDLE:

numpy:
[[[ 0 1 2 3]
[ 4 5 6 7]
[ 8 9 10 11]]
[[12 13 14 15]
[16 17 18 19]
[20 21 22 23]]]
Pure Inline:

CompileError: error: Bad file descriptor

With MS Visual studio compile. When I use MinGw compiler by edit those code's line:
weave.inline(code, ['arr']) to weave.inline(code, ['arr'], compiler='gcc')
weave.inline(code, ['arr'], type_converters=converters.blitz) to
weave.inline(code, ['arr'], type_converters=converters.blitz,compiler='gcc')

I get the same message from Python's IDLE:

numpy:
[[[ 0 1 2 3]
[ 4 5 6 7]
[ 8 9 10 11]]
[[12 13 14 15]

[20 21 22 23]]]

Thank you for your help =)

Any updates on this?

weave is deprecated and has few users left, so this is low prio for the scipy devs. Patches will be accepted though.

Closing since weave is no longer a part of SciPy. This issue is now tracked at scipy/weave#7.
