Hi Chuck, Like Sebastian, I wonder a little about what level you are talking about. Presumably, it is the actual implementation of the ufunc? I.e., this is not about the upper logic that decides which `__array_ufunc__` to call, etc. If so, I agree with you that it would seem to make most sense to

[Numpy-discussion] Future of ufuncs

2017-05-28 Thread Charles R Harris
Hi All, This post is to open a discussion of the future of ufuncs. There are two contradictory ideas that have floated about regarding ufuncs evolution. One is to generalize ufuncs to operate on buffers, essentially separating them from their current entanglement with ndarrays. The other is to acc
