Oh no, whoops!  The .dmg file has been code signed with my apple developer
id, notarized with apple, and passes all verification checks on my machine
when I download it from the website.  Ever since sunday I have been
scrambling to support every platform and os version out there basically,
and this is the first time I saw this one.  For the sake of avoiding using
the mailing list to debug, would be willing to open an issue on the Math
Inspector github page?  Thanks!  (btw I checked the file on my machine and
its the same filesize with the same shasum, so my guess is there is a
pyinstaller issue related to an os version conflict, or a code signing
issue, not sure though, I built it on BigSur 11.1)

Thank you!!!

It's really important to me to make math inspector a part of the numpy
ecosystem, and since this is the first time I am reaching out to the
mailing list, I'd like emphasize that I am more than willing to work with
the community to improve the product, respond to bug reports & feature
requests, and in general I strongly value constructive criticism.

I completely agree with your observation here.  It hadn't occurred to me to
change numpy to make it better for math inspector, but I think you are
hitting the nail on the head when you suggest re-organizing the file
structure of the core package.

The main suggestion I have is to update the documentation in a way that
leverages the power of math inspector.  The math inspector doc browser is a
powerful tool with lots of extra functionality that is not available from
the website or in the normal python help() function.  This extra
functionality could be used to make numpy more approachable.  For example,
replace references to matplotlib in the doc's with mathinspector.plot(),
and substitute mathinspector for iPython as the recommended tool.

Thanks for this fantastic feedback!
