The numerix layer is also used internally by matplotlib such that it does not need to have three different implementations to support the three array packages. It serves to be a uniform layer over the three packages, not just serve as a common place to get array functions from. That it is also exposed by importing everything from pylab is a side effect. If you don't want this, then you can configure ipython to import everything you want from numpy *after* pylab. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
