There's a ticket (#416) that calls for the docstrings of such functions to be updated as well; that's something that should be easy to do at the same time. Since I'm working on tests nowadays, I'll see if I can work on coming up with a list and at least writing some tests. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
