Numeric, Numarray, & Numpy... some one stick a screwdriver in my forehead and end the madness that Numeric has become.
Brilliant programming & an almost essential part of scientific & math hacking in python made maddeningly confusing by truly dumb naming scheme. For crying all night! Numpy was Numeric's nickname!!... choose a new, related, but unique name!!!! Holy cow!!! How hard is that? A group of folks smart enough to come up with such an amazing piece of software can't do better than to avoid this unnecessary confusion? only Apple could top naming as retarded as this. with 2.3 seconds i came up with this: Nappy Numeric Array processing in Python similar enough to suggest its origins, unique enough to not confuse the heck out of everyone... I am sure folks can do better, but really! <wink> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
