[matplotlib-devel] Can we retire numerix?

[Chris B. <Chr...@no...>]

Hi all,

I just ran into an issue with py2exe -- my app failed because various 
numpy sub-packages weren't included. However, I wasn't using them. But 
it failed because numerix imports them, and they weren't included 
because it imports them with __import__

Anyway, I can work around this, but it made me wonder: is it time to 
retire numerix? We all should be using numpy anyway.

note that the docstring is out of date, too:

"""
1. The value of numerix in matplotlibrc: either Numeric or numarray

2. If none of the above is done, the default array package is Numeric.
    Because the matplotlibrc always provides *some* value for numerix
    (it has it's own system of default values), this default is most
    likely never used.

To summarize: the  commandline is examined first, the  rc file second,
and the default array package is Numeric.
"""
