Once it has progressed a little and we can step back and look at it, we can consider how to switch over. I imagine we would have both present in numpy under different names for a while. Also, I think it would be nice to work on it soon because it is a chance for us to eat our own dogfood in the __array_ufunc__ interface, which is not yet set in stone so we can fix any problems we discover with it.

We'll probably start around 9:30am. We're at 190 Doe Library on Berkeley campus. We started today by discussing how a draft roadmap could look; I'll post a more detailed update after the sprint.

The citation used to point to "The NumPy array: a structure for efficient numerical computation" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1102.1523), but I asked that it be changed to give credit to Travis. I am not aware of publications for the original Numeric and NumArray; the first reference for NumPy itself is Travis's book.

[Numpy-discussion] Citation for ndarray
Hi all, I see listed on the scipy.org site that the preferred citation for NumPy is the "Guide to NumPy": https://www.scipy.org/citing.html This could work for what I'm writing, but I'd prefer to find a citation specifically for NumPy's ndarray data structure. Does such a citation exist? Thanks! -Nathan ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion

Removal generally has its merits, but if a (mid term) replacement will come in any case, it would be nice to get those started first if possible. Otherwise downstream might end up having to fix up things twice. - Sebastian > My first gut feeling about the proposal is: I love the idea to get > rid > of it... but lets not do it, it does feel like it makes too much > infrastructure unclear. > > - Sebastian > > > > > > Allan > > > > > > ___ > > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > > NumPy-Discussion@python.org > > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion > > ___ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > NumPy-Discussion@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
