I would suggest treating this as a real bug! Then it could be fixed immediately. I don't think that many people are relying on this behaviour, and if so: it is just so confusion that my guess is that they would be always using EITHER the function OR the method - and run into this "bug" as soon as they accidentally use the other one. Bug-fixes don't have to keep backwards compatibility. -Sebastian _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
