Could numpy.matlib get the same functions as numpy? Would that have to be done with a manually maintained import list? I always use "import numpy.matlib as M" and then search for function names in ipython (M.a[TAB]). I didn't realize that some functions are missing. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
