[Bug 655192] Re: scipy.weave.inline requires python-dev to be installed

[Vibhav Pant]

** Description changed:

  [SRU Request]
  Binary package hint: python-scipy
  [Impact]
  scipy.weave.inline provided by python-scipy requires python-dev to be installed. If python-dev is not installed any script using scipy.weave.inline, the compilation fails. The first error relates to not being able to find Python.h.
  [Development Fix]
- Added python-dev and python-imaging to Recommends in control
+ Added python-dev and python-imaging to Recommends in control.
+ Added python-dev since python.h was not found.
+ Added python-imaging because Python was unable to import the imread module from scipy.misc, even if it's defined in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/scipy/misc/pilutil.py
  [Stable Fix]
  Same as the development fix
  [Test Case]
  Install python-scipy
  download and run attached script
  [Regression Potential]
  Low, just adds dependencies.
  
  Workaround - install python-dev
