That's a good point regarding the range function names. But, I think the issue still stands on the readability of the ptp function. Regarding PEP20 it's stated that "readability counts."
If you regard what ptp is supposed to replace, array.max() - array.min(), the aforementioned follows the PEP20 better as it is more readable. If valuerange() is not an acceptable name, maybe span()? -Eli On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 10:44 PM, Pauli Virtanen <p...@iki.fi> wrote: > 10.05.2013 08:47, Eli Bressert kirjoitti: > [clip: renaming ptp] >> valuerange() appears to the best most favored one. > > range(), arange(), valuerange() > > I'm not really a big fan of changing the name of this function at this > stage, as it seems to me that whether it's a gain or not is somewhat a > matter of taste. > > -- > Pauli Virtanen > > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org > http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
