 * Instances of :class:`~pyqtgraph.ImageItem` can be used inside a :class:`ViewBox <pyqtgraph.ViewBox>` or :class:`GraphicsView <pyqtgraph.GraphicsView>`.
 * For higher performance, use :class:`~pyqtgraph.RawImageWidget`.
 
-Any of these classes are acceptable for displaying video by calling setImage() to display a new frame. To increase performance, the image processing system uses scipy.weave to produce compiled libraries. If your computer has a compiler available, weave will automatically attempt to build the libraries it needs on demand. If this fails, then the slower pure-python methods will be used instead. 
+Any of these classes are acceptable for displaying video by calling setImage() to display a new frame.
