I would like to add my voice to a call for single prefix (I like PyArray_ for everything, but can live with npy_). Presumably npy_ vs. NPY_ variation is supposed to distinguish between macros and C language elements, but as long as the stem is properly capitalized, I don't see a problem of using the same prefix for everything.
In any case, if more than one prefix is used, it would be helpful to get some guidance on what to use when. On 7/10/06, Russell E.
