It'd be nice if 1.8 were out before that, but that doesn't really matter -- let us know when you get it sorted? Also, would it help if we added a big scary warning at import time to annoy your more recalcitrant developers with? :-) The basic issue is that none of us actually use this stuff, it has no tests, the rest of numpy is changing around it, and we have no idea if it works, so at some point it makes more sense for us to just stop shipping the compat layer and let anyone who still needs it maintain their own copy of the code. -n _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
