I have decided to not do it, as it is more or less just a bugfix and I currently do not feel capable of doing with added completion pressure. But I have collected some of related issues and discussions: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/4600 https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/3184 http://numpy-discussion.10968.n7.nabble.com/using-loadtxt-to-load-a-text-file-in-to-a-numpy-array-tt35992.html#a36003 # loadtxt https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/4208 # genfromtxt http://numpy-discussion.10968.n7.nabble.com/genfromtxt-universal-newline-support-td37816.html https://github.com/dhomeier/numpy/commit/995ec93 _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
