Yup. I converted a very complex code from Numeric to numpy years ago (around the numpy 1.0 release timeframe), and it was a single (long, intense and focused) day's work. But that was thanks to a very solid test suite that let me be systematic and dumb about the whole thing (careful, but dumb). With no good test coverage, let's just say that the OP's colleague is in for a personal replay of the painful minefield scene in the BAT*21 movie :) [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094712] Cheers, f _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
