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

[Gary S. <st...@nm...>]

Numeric user since somewhere near "the beginning" (~1996-7?).

No. Just dabbling so far.

> 2) Will you transition within the next 6 months? (if you answered No to #1)

Depends.

> 3) Please, explain your reason(s) for not making the switch. (if you answered 
> No to #2)

(i) Numpy out-of-the-box build failed on my linux boxes, and I will need 
to upgrade linux and Windoze simultaneously. (ii) So far, Numeric is still 
working for me. (iii) Time ... I also have ~200k lines of code to convert. 
(iv) Like others, I guess I'm waiting for NumPy 1.0 to take a stab.

> 4) Please provide any suggestions for improving NumPy.

From what I've tried/tested so far on Windoze, Numpy looks awesome. Thanks 
Travis! And the rest of the development team! (Now, if I could only truly 
understand and remember all the new indexing options ... esp. a[tuple] vs. 
a[array] .....)
