Things that happened: + +* **complex dtype support** - thanks to matti picus, NumPy on PyPy now supports + complex dtype (only complex128 so far, there is work on the other part) + +* **big refactoring** - probably the biggest issue we did was finishing + a big refactoring that disabled some speedups (notably lazy computation + of arrays), but lowered the barrier of implementing cool new features. + +* **fancy indexing support** - all fancy indexing tricks should now work, + including ``a[b]`` where ``b`` is an array of integers. + +* **newaxis support** - now you can use newaxis features + +* **improvements to ``intp``, ``uintp``, ``void``, ``string`` and record dtypes** + +Features that have active branches, but hasn't been merged: + +* **float16 dtype support** + +* **missing ndarray attributes** - this is a branch to finish all attributes + on ndarray, hence ending one chapter. + +* **pickling support for numarray** - hasn't started yet, but next on the list + +More importantly, we're getting very close to able to import the python part +of the original numpy with only import modifications and running it's tests. +Most tests will fail at this point, however it'll be a good start for another +chapter :-) + +Cheers, +fijal _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
