Last week's discussion on rand() and randn() seemed to indicate a sentiment that they ought to take tuples for consistency with ones, zeros, eye, identity, and empty -- that, although they are supposed to be convenience functions, they are inconvenient precisely because of their inconsistency with these other functions. This issue has been raised many times over the past several months.
Travis made a change in r2572 to allow tuples as arguments, then took it out again a few hours later, apparently unsure about whether this was a good idea. I'd like to call for a vote on what people would prefer, and then ask Travis to make a final pronouncement before the feature freeze. * Should numpy.rand and numpy.randn accept sequences of dimensions as arguments, like rand((3,3)), as an alternative to rand(3,3)? OR * Should rand((3,3)) and randn((3,3)) continue to raise a TypeError? Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
