Ok, thanks. I meant the amount of vertical space between lines of text - for example, the gaps between parameter values and their description, or the large spacing between both lines of text and and the text boxes in the examples section. If other people agree it's a problem, I thought the spacing

Howdy, I was just trying to explain to a new user how to build numpy from source on ubuntu and I realized that there's not much info on this front in the source tree. Scipy has a nice INSTALL.txt that even lists the names of the debian/ubuntu packages needed for the build (which can be a useful g

Hi all, I'm just reposting here to see if anyone with a stake in f2py has an opinion/advice on the points below. F2py feels very much in autopilot/drifting into the icebergs mode right now. Is that correct assessment? If there's any guidance on where to go, I can at least file tickets on these

Hi all, Should we document character arrays? Does anybody still use them? I think their behaviour can largely be duplicated by object arrays. They also seem to be broken: >>> x = np.array(['1', '2', '3', '4']).view(np.chararray) >>> x*3 chararray(['111', '222', '333', '444'], dtype='|S4'

I think we should stick to what has been agreed and announced months ago. It's called honouring our commitments and the project's image depends on it. If the inconvenience of these API changes is worth the trouble, a 1.1.2 release could be considered. My two cents. David 2008/7/22 Joe Harringto

[Numpy-discussion] Representation of array subclasses

2008-07-23 Thread Stéfan van der Walt
Hi all, I noticed that subclasses are not represented correctly: In [8]: np.chararray([1, 2, 3]) Out[8]: chararray([[['\x03', '', ''], ['\xc0', '\x03', '']]], dtype='|S1') Notice how the indentation of the second row is completely wrong. I tried to fix this in array_repr_builtin (
