this may be a function of a well written doc string -- if it is clear to the newbie that " all the rest of this you don't need unless you have a wierd data file", then extra keyword arguments don't really hurt. A few examples of the basic use-cases go a long way. And yes, the core reader for the complex cases isn't going to e fast (it's going to be complex C code...). but we could still have a core reader that handled most cases. Anyway, I think it's time write code, and see if it can be rolled in somehow... -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 chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
