I am happy to be the first at this point -- enthought has done a lot to support traits. Traits has one of the most impressive pieces of technical documentation in the scientific python community. The enthought mailing list has become quite active of late, and they are clearly supporting their OS code. They actively promote their product and want a large user community -- we can provide synergy there. It has lived in our src tree for over a year and still "just compiles". In fact, I am amenable too, though not committed to, requiring traits as an *external* package rather than an included package, both to encourage users into the ETS suite and to encourage enthought to support us via their traits package. I'd be happy to hear from enthought here on their preferences. With the whole Numeric, numarray and numpy thing behind us, I'm looking for a whole new set of compilation issues to tackle :-) > Actually, it could be completely split into two phases: first rcParams > handling, second Artist properties, couldn't it?

True, but there aren't that many Artists, and they are closely tied to the rc params. Once you get the rc done, it will be natural and easy to do the artists. But yes, you can do them piecemeal: Line2D and Text are natural first targets. > > If you decide to go that route, let's sync up with the latest > > enthought tree first, though. > > I am happy to see this in svn: > > Revision 12335, 13.4 kB (checked in by rkern, 4 weeks ago) > Array trait updated to use numpy idioms only. Anything that gets Robert making commits to our tree is a massive win for us.
