We aren't supposed to break APIs that aren't related to the 2-3 transition. PEP3118 is related to the 2-3 transition. Since I'm that somebody that always pipes up about this topic, I'm pretty sure it hasn't been PEP3118-related breakage that has been proposed. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
