Feedback from the upstream author:


"
I've examined the files in the bin directory and removed some of the
too specialized files and also modified/updated some of them.
Now the directory contains

_gnuplot.py             gnuplot.bat             pyreport
file2interactive.py     profiler.py             regression.py
floatdiff.py            ps2mpeg.py              subst.py

All of these, except pyreport, are scripts developed or used in my
"Python for Computational Science" book (a new README file in the bin
directory briefly explains what the remaining files here are used
for).  The files may well go to another bin directory (/usr/local/bin,
for instance). The only problem I can foresee is that they go to a
directory that users do not have in their PATH.

Another possibility is to say that these files (except pyreport) are
for the mentioned book only, and since this book has a special bin
directory I can easily move them there. This is okay with me if
SciTools users do not think they lose much. What they lose is
basically the following:

gnuplot.bat, _gnuplot.py: ability to run Gnuplot on Windows as it is run on
Unix

file2interactive.py: quick creation of interactive sessions (maybe more a
utility for a book writer...)

profiler.py: trivial front-end, but makes profiling a one-line command

regression.py, floatdiff.py: original tools supporting regression tests with
floating-point numbers (i.e., reference results change with hardware)

subst.py: cross-platform sed-like substitution command

pyreport in this dir allows the original pyreport program to work with
scitools.easyviz.

Tell me what you think. An update to v0.6 was just committed to the
svn repository (incl. the updates mentioned above).
