Hi folks, It is turning out to be much more of a headache moving from numpy-0.9.x to numpy-1.0b1 than it ever was moving from Numeric to numpy. Could someone please throw together some release notes (the scipy & sourceforge RN pages are blank) or a Wiki page warning what has to be changed? Here are some stumbling blocks I've come across:
* Type names are all now lower case. I know this started happening late in 0.9.x, but I only know it by accident, via some email from Travis. This is just one example of the kind of change that really needs to be prominently noted somewhere. * .nonzero() now returns a 1-tuple with an array of indices, for a 1-d array. Before it returned an array of indices. * In the C API, ContiguousFromObject is now ContiguousFromAny. I am surprised that my libraries compile with no errors; I only get a runtime error. Shouldn't I be warned about this at compile-time? * mtrand still uses ContiguousFromObject in a few places; these give exceptions when you call, e.g., setstate. * rand, fft, ift are no longer in the numpy namespace. Is this a permanent change or a bug? There are probably other obstacles I'll come across, but this is what I encountered in code that ran perfectly with 0.9.6. After several hours of work it's still not running. -Tom Loredo ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
