hi,
we need to deprecate the NPY_CHAR typenumber [0] in order to enable us
to add new core dtypes without adding ugly hacks to our ABI.
Technically the typenumber was deprecated way back in 1.6 when it
accidentally broke our ABI. But due to lack of time f2py never got
updated to actually follow thr

Hi All,
I think Nathaniel had a good summary. My own 2¢ are mostly about the
burden of supporting python2. I have only recently attempted to make
changes in the C codebase of numpy and one of the reasons I found this
more than a little daunting is the complex web of include files. In
this respect,
What do we think about the trade-offs of having a shared 2.7/3.x codebase
going forward?
As Python3 adds more nontrivial features, keeping compatibility with 2.7
becomes more burdensome.
Will there be a separate py2-numpy branch/repo at some point before ending
support?
