Well, an easy way to make all those poke their ugly heads in a hurry would be to remove line 32 in scipy's init: longs[Lib]> grep -n oldnum *py __init__.py:31:import numpy.oldnumeric as _num __init__.py:32:from numpy.oldnumeric import * If we really want to push for the new api, I think it's fair to change those two lines by simply from numpy import oldnumeric so that scipy also exposes oldnumeric, and let all deprecated names be hidden there. I just tried this change: Index: __init__.py =================================================================== --- __init__.py (revision 2012) +++ __init__.py (working copy) @@ -29,9 +29,8 @@ # Import numpy symbols to scipy name space import numpy.oldnumeric as _num -from numpy.oldnumeric import * -del lib -del linalg +from numpy import oldnumeric + __all__ += _num.__all__ __doc__ += """ Contents and scipy's test suite still passes (modulo the test_cobyla thingie Nils is currently fixing, which is not related to this). Should I apply this patch, so we push the cleaned-up API even a bit harder? Cheers, f Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
