I think it's reasonably safe to say at this point that most people are in favor of the new maskedarray implementation becoming the default numpy.ma at some point in the future. So the question is, when/how will the migration process be done? - just swap the whole thing as is and hope for the b

Is there any documentation available for your maskedarray? I would like to get a feel for the basics, like how do I take the dot product, do elementwise multiplication, etc, with your implementation. Thanks, Alex ___ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-d

All, As you might be aware, there are currently two concurrent implementations of masked arrays in numpy: * numpy.ma is the official implementation, but it is unclear whether it is still actively maintained. * maskedarray is the alternative I've been developing initially for my own purpose from
