I think now scipy.finance is overkill. There isn't enough to warrant a subpackage. And for serious code, users should use other packages (like pandas, ...). numpy.financial like matplotlib.finance just to satisfy some basic spread sheet use cases http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2259379/basic-financial-library-for-python If the python standard lib can get statistics, then numpy can keep some basic financial calculations. +0.5 on numpy.finance / numpy.financial with explicit import (?) (proposal for new function `numpy.spreadsheet_calculation` :) Josef > > Skipper > > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion > _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
