The old API has been replaced by a constructor that still takes a string literal argument to determine the PRNG algorithm. See the bottom of http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/math/brt5wsv.html This approach would match my suggestion. Even an module approach would match my suggestion (one module per underlying PRNG algorithm). I just think it will pay off to avoid simply multiplying function names (e.g., introducing znormal this year, and whatever new name next year). fwiw, Alan _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
