I haven't been following this discussion (I have a product release on Monday). But I am getting a lot of mail stacking up for numpy-developers which will not go through unless you are one of the registered developers mailing from your registered mail account. All others, please do not use numpy-developers. This is a private channel for the official developers only. I gather from my brief reading that someone is looking for a standard to use now. That standard is Numeric. If you go with that now then when the time comes to switch to Numarray, you'll be in the same boat as the whole community and therefore liable to be able to profit from any conversion tools required. You can reduce your problems to a minimum by sticking with the Python interface where possible. If you have some special need that Numeric is not meeting please realize that what exists is a consensus product after a long evolution and it is not likely to change much to meet your particular needs. There are some areas where what is right for one set of people is wrong for the others. |
