Hooray! (I have no opinion one way or the other on this but I know it's been a contentious issue for a long time, and the proposed solution seems reasonable to me?) Perhaps one thing you might consider is a way to set the default globally--so that for example all permutations can be set zero-based from a single flag, without having to specify from_zero everywhere. But I can suggest that in the ticket if that would be a better place. Best, Erik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
