mlab.py in svn has now been changed quite a bit: 1) It uses straight numpy. 2) In many but not all cases, I tried to simplify algorithms by using numpy capabilities. I did some testing, but beware: there may be new bugs. 3) For functions with numpy equivalents I put in deprecation warnings, with the intention that mlab be stripped down to things that are useful and are not readily available in numpy. 4) I added some comments to docstrings. 5) I added a "demean" function that is like detrend_mean but takes an axis argument. This ability to operate on a specified axis might be added to other functions in mlab.
Please test the new version. Especially if there are functions that you contributed to mlab (Fernando, I think you provided many of them), please check to see whether I have fouled them up, or deprecated them when this should not have been done, or whether you think they should still be included at all. This version is not intended as an endpoint but as a step in the evolution of mpl and pylab. We should come up with a clear policy as to what belongs in mlab.py and what does not. As it settles down, the module docstring can be made more complete and useful.
