2015-11-03 Thread Chris Barker - NOAA Federal
I was more aiming to point out a situation where the NumPy's text file reader was significantly better than the Pandas version, so we would want to make sure that we properly benchmark any significant changes to NumPy's text reading code. Who knows where else NumPy beats Pandas? Indeed. For this ex

Correct, there were entries that would sometimes take up their entire width. The delimited text readers could not read this particular dataset. The dataset I am referring to is the processed ISD data: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/isd As for fromstring() not being able to help there, I didn't mean to

[Numpy-discussion] histogram gives meaningless results with non-finite range

This came up in [a matplotlib issue](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/5221): >>> np.histogram(np.arange(10), range=(0.0, np.inf)) (array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]), array([ nan, inf, inf, inf, inf, inf, inf, inf, inf, inf, inf])) >>> np.histogram(np.arange(10), ran
