scilab module
=============

Provide an easy to use interface toward scilab

Usage:
>>> from scilab import scilab as sci
>>> x = [1,2,3]
>>> sci.disp(x)

    1.
    2.
    3.

With the help of the sciscipy module, you can also do:

>>> sciscipy.eval("function y = func(x) ; y = x*x ; endfunction")
>>> sci.func(2)
array([ 4.])


Internals
=========

It uses macrovar ou fun2string to discover the number of
output args
