Believe me, I'm all for incremental changes if it is actually possible and doesn't actually cost more. It's also why I've been silent until now about anything we are doing being a candidate for a NumPy 2.0. I understand the challenges of getting people to change. But, features and solid improvem

I won't be able to make it at scipy this year sadly. I concur with Nathaniel that we can do a lot of things without a full rewrite -- it is all too easy to see what is gained with a rewrite and lose sight of what is lost. I have yet to see a really strong argument for a full rewrite. It may be eas

Re: [Numpy-discussion] percentile function for masked array?

2014-06-04 Thread Chao YUE
Dear all, Thank you for this information. I will return to this issue later and probably make patch (as temporary solution) for this. Because I never tried before, so it may take me some time. For the other overall masked array constructing issues, it might be left further for more discussion. B
