I think a NEP is a good idea. It would also seem to make sense to consider how the dtype itself can hold/calculate this type of information, since that will be the only way a generic ``info()`` function can get information for a user-defined dtype. Indeed, taking that further, might a method or p

That seems reasonable to me on its face. There are some corner cases to work out though. Swayam is tinkering with a quad precision dtype written using rhe new DType API and just ran into the fact that finfo doesn’t support user dtypes: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/27231 IMO any new feat

Or how about `np.dtype_info(dt)`, which could return an object with attributes like `min` and `max`. Would that be possible? ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list -- numpy-discussion@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to numpy-discussion-le...@python.or
