Hi! numpy renamed the *function* abs to absolute. Most functions like mean, min, max, average, ... have an equivalent array *method*.
Why is absolute left out ? I think it should be added . Furthermore, looking at some line of code that have multiple calls to absolute [ like f(absolute(a), absolute(b), absolute(c)) ] I think "some people" might prefer less typing and less reading, like f( a.abs(), b.abs(), c.abs() ). One could even consider not requiring the "function call" parenthesis '()' at all - but I don't know about further implications that might have. Thanks, Sebastian Haase PS: is there any performace hit in using the built-in abs function ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
