Then this particular case belongs to the other 10% 
It is not really important for a user if a library is written in C or 
fortran, because he can call it from his own programs written in any 
language. But python modules are only useful for somebody who is going to 
write his own python code and import them.

sci-libs/scipi and dev-python/scientificpython are two competing projects 
which have practically identical aims and descriptions. Do you think this 
is logical?
