[coming over from the pydata post]
I just checked about ~150KLOC of our Python code in a financial context,
written by about twenty developers over about four years. Almost every
function uses numpy, sometimes directly and sometimes via pandas.
It seems like these functions were never used

Dear all
As a user of Numpy in finance, I'm absolutely in favour of removing these
functions.
They're too domain-specific, not flexible and general enough for widespread
use, and probably
not easy to maintain.
