Hi Michael,

I just recently opened a new subproject called "science:ScientificLinux" 
on https://build.opensuse.org/. Feel free to install python-numpy and 
python-scipy from this repo:

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science:/ScientificLinux/RHEL_5/science:ScientificLinux.repo
# yum install python-scipy python-numpy

You should get:

Installing:
python-numpy i386 1.2.1-7.1 science_ScientificLinux 2.5 M
python-scipy i386 0.6.0-6.2 science_ScientificLinux 5.8 M
Installing for dependencies:
fftw3 i386 3.1.2-113.2 science_ScientificLinux 1.3 M

I haven't tested the packages a lot. Feedback is welcome.

You may want to disable this repo per default:

# sed -i "s|enabled=.*|enabled=0|" 
/etc/yum.repos.d/science:ScientificLinux.repo


Cheers,

Urs
