Of course, here’s my proposal: We leave NEP-18 as-is for now, and instead of writing separate protocols for coercion, dtypes and ufuncs (which will be needed somewhere down the line), we have a discussion about uarray and see if it can help there. :-) Ralf and I discussed internally about the possibility of a dedicated call, with all important participants. > > Thanks, > Stephan > > > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > NumPy-Discussion@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion Best Regards, Hameer Abbasi
