Why do you think so? It's old code that was used in scipy/__init__.py, but we removed it from there years ago. It has been unofficially deprecated (and widely considered a bad idea) for years. The only modifications to it in the past 6 years or so have been repo-wide cleanups, Python 3 compatibility and the like, so it *is* adding to the maintenance burden for those tasks. Do you know of anyone that is actually currently using it? -- Robert Kern _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
