Could you please explain why you need 'F' ordering? It's pretty unlikely that you actually care about the internal memory layout, and you'll get better advice if you explain why you think you do care.

You'll have to maintain your own fork and will probably inject bugs when trying to rewrite. Nobody will want to help fix them because everyone else just uses numpy as is. > And to eliminate the order kwarg, use functools.partial to patch the > zeros function (or any others, as needed): Instead of monkey patching, why not just define your own shims: fortran_zeros = partial(np.zeros(order='F')) Seems like this would lead to a lot less confusion (although until you tell us why you care about the in-memory layout I don't know the point of doing this at all).
