[Numpy-discussion] documenting optional out parameter

2009-10-25 Thread Brent Pedersen
hi, i've seen this section: http://docs.scipy.org/numpy/Questions+Answers/#the-out-argument should _all_ functions with an optional out parameter have exactly that text? so if i find a docstring with reasonable, but different doc for out, should it be changed to that? and if a docstring of a func

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Procedure for doing documentation reviews

2009-10-25 Thread David Goldsmith
Technically, after "Needs Review," it's supposed to go through "Needs Work (Reviewed)" The "by the book" way to do it would be to: 0 & 1) Provide comments in the Discussion section and change status to "Needs Work (Reviewed)" (in either order); 2) Edit, if inclined. 3) Answer your own comments

[Numpy-discussion] Procedure for doing documentation reviews

2009-10-25 Thread Christopher Burns
When a documents status is "Needs Review" and when reviewing it we feel it needs edits, should we add comments regarding the edits, or should we feel free to edit it directly? Chris ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail

[Numpy-discussion] fftpack_lite question

2009-10-25 Thread Ralf Gommers
Hi all, Can anyone tell me if fftpack_lite is an exact C translation of the fftpack Fortran code? Or at least close enough that the signature, parameter descriptions and algorithm are the same? If so, I can use the fftpack Fortran sources (which have useful comments) to write docs for fftpack_lit

[Numpy-discussion] [ANN] Advanced Scientific Programming in Python Winter School in Warsaw, Poland

2009-10-25 Thread Tiziano Zito
Advanced Scientific Programming in Python a Winter School by the G-Node and University of Warsaw Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and debugging software. While techniques for doing this efficiently have evolved, only few scientists actually use them. As a result, instead
