Stop, please! Locking in is bad, but establishing a standard is good. Particularly for newbies, it's really very, very helpful if example code in mailing list, in wikis, in the docs, etc, is all similar. Most folks learn by copying and pasting code form examples, having a proliferation different aliases for numpy is just asking for a lot of confusion. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
