Thank you for clarifying and for being willing to look to the future. I agree a decision needs to be made. I think we will need to break the ABI. At this point, I don't know of any pressing features that would require it short of NumPy 2.0. -Travis > David > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org > http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
