[Numpy-discussion] [RFE] Suport for version 3 of array protocol in numarray

[Francesc A. <fa...@ca...>]

Hi,

I've lately ran into problems in numarray-->numpy conversions which are due=
 to=20
a lack of suport of the array procol version 3 on behalf of numarray. For=20
more info on this issue see:

http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/ticket/256

and

http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/ticket/266

Question: is the numarray crew going to add this support anytime soon? If n=
ot,=20
I'd advocate to retain support for version 2 in NumPy at least for sometime=
=20
(until numarray gets the support), although I don't know whether this will=
=20
complicate things a lot in NumPy.

I personally don't need this functionality as I've found a workaround for=20
PyTables (i.e. using the numpy.ndarray factory in order to create the NumPy=
=20
object directly from the numarray buffer), but I think this would be very=20
useful in helping other users (end-users mainly) in the numarray-->NumPy=20
transition.

Thanks,

=2D-=20
