Actually, Robert makes a good point. arange with floats is problematic. We should direct people to linspace instead of changing the default of arange. Most new users will probably expect arange to return a type similar to Python's range which is int. Also: Keeping arange as ints reduces the number of errors from the change in the unit tests to 2 in NumPy 3 in SciPy So, I think from both a pragmatic and idealized situtation, arange should stay with the default of ints. People who want arange to return floats should be directed to linspace. -Travis Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
