anirudh2290 edited a comment on issue #14253: [RFC] Introducing NumPy-compatible coding experience into MXNet URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/14253#issuecomment-468122597 Thanks for the RFC! > It is just that users are encouraged to access NumPy operator APIs through `mxnet.numpy` to write pure imperative code and Gluon APIs for achieving hybrid coding experience. Earlier mxnet.ndarray was supposed to give you the experience of writing pure imperative code. Why can't we add the operators under this namespace and make the interface changes for existing operators ? Is there a list of operators which have diverged APIs for numpy and ndarray and can it be timed with 2.0 release? > We can keep the current behavior unchanged and implement a global switch for users to turn on for expecting NumPy-compatible results. If I understand correctly, even when using numpy namespace you need to toggle this switch(probably an env variable?) to obtain the correct slicing ? Have you also considered implementing a seperating numpy ndarray from base with specific functions for slicing like `__getitem__` implemented to avoid using this switch.
