I'm also in the camp that doesn't really understand this stuff well enough to really argue in favor of it, but would the proposed extensions make it possible for all these different packages to just have to support "buffer protocol" and magically be able to work with numpy or numeric without having to introduce explicit dependencies and support code for all those other packages? If I've got the facts straight then I'd be happy to go and say that on comp.lang.python.

I'm recruiting more comments on python-dev regarding my two proposals

There is a dearth of scientific-computing and number-crunching-aware
people on python-dev. The result is that I sound like a lone voice
arguing for something that nobody cares about. When, I don't think that
is true. Please, please. If you want Python to grow support for the
array interface (or something like it), then please speak up on
python-dev.
Even something as simple as I really see the need for a way to exchange
data-format information between two objects sharing the buffer protocol
can be helpful.
You can post through the gmane newsgroup interface:
gmane.comp.python.devel
Find any of the posts on the PEP's I've introduced. Thanks for your help.
