I don't really understand the desire to have this single function exist in a separate package. If it requires the new version of NumPy, then you'll have to install/upgrade either way...and if it comes as part of that new NumPy, then you are already set. Doesn't a separate package complicate things unnecessarily? It make sense to me if einsum consisted of many functions (such as Bottleneck). _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
