Re: [Numpy-discussion] Any Numeric or numarray users on this list?

Hi Travis,

Here you have the answers for PyTables project (www.pytables.org).

Not yet, although suport for it is in-place through the use of the array=20
protocol.

We don't know, but other projects in our radar make us to think that we wil=

not be able to do that in this timeframe.

As I said before, it is mainly a matter of priorities. Also, numarray works=

very well for PyTables usage, and besides, NumPy 1.0 is not yet there.

You are already doing a *great* work. Perhaps pushing numexpr in NumPy woul=
d=20
be nice. Also working in introducing a simple array class in Python core an=
d=20
using the array protocol to access the data would be very good.

Cheers,
