Re: [Numpy-discussion] [SciPy-dev] Deprecate chararray [was Plea for help]

Thanks. There's a bit of a snag getting my SVN permissions, and the doc editor permissions I assume are pending. Once those things are in place, I can move forward on this and hopefully it will be clear what needs to be done. Mike David Goldsmith wrote: > On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 2:09 PM, Ral

So, Ralf (or anyone), how, if at all, should we modify the status of the existing chararray objects/methods in the wiki? Assuming you have no problem sharing them with me, Michael, I could add those docstrings you created for the existing methods, and we can promote them to "Ready for Review"; the

In the source in my working copy. Is that going to cause problems? I wasn't sure if it was possible to document methods that didn't yet exist in the code in the wiki. Mike David Goldsmith wrote: > On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 10:55 AM, Michael Droettboom > wrote: > > 2

Re: [Numpy-discussion] [SciPy-dev] Deprecate chararray [was Plea for help]

I now have a rather large patch ready which addresses the following issues with chararrays. Would it be possible to get SVN commit priviledges, or would you prefer a patch file? 1) Fix bugs in Trac http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1199 (chararray.expandtabs broken) http://projects.scipy.

Michael: First, thank you very much for your detailed and thorough analysis and recap of the situation - it sounds to me like chararray is now in good hands! :-) On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 10:58 AM, Michael Droettboom wrote: > Sorry to resurrect a long-dead thread, but I've been continuing Chris >

Sorry to resurrect a long-dead thread, but I've been continuing Chris Hanley's investigation of chararray at Space Telescope Science Institute (and the broader astronomical community) for a while and have some findings to report back. What I've taken from this thread is that chararray is in nee
