numerical packages for 1.5.2?

Hi,

I'd like to do some scientific/numerical work with Python.  On the
computers accessible to me, Python 1.5.2 is quite common but Python
2.x is not to be found anywhere.  I don't have root password to most
of these computers.  I'd also like to share my code with
collaborators, and don't want to make them upgrade Python itself
(which is significantly harder than upgrading Python packages).  So,
it looks like Python 1.5.2 is it for now.  These are mostly Linux/x86
systems with a few SGIs.

Given that restriction, what version of Numeric should I be using?  Is
there a version of SciPy that will work on 1.5.2?  Are there known bugs
in any of these versions I should watch out for?

thanks
