First reaction: hmean and gmean. After reading the issue: hmean and gmean. After a brief glance at the statistics module: hmean and gmean. Or also change pstdev and pvariance to population_stdev and population_variance for consistency. Still: hmean and gmean. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
