That does sound like a good way to do it. Then you just tell your users to import 'eduNumpy' rather than numpy, and you're good to go. Added that suggestion to http://www.scipy.org/NegativeSquareRoot I'd like to ask one basic Python question related my previous suggestion of doing things like "numpy.sqrt = numpy.lib.scimath.sqrt": In python does that make it so that any module importing numpy in the same program will now see the altered sqrt function? E.g. in my program I do "import A,B". Module A alters numpy.sqrt. Does that also modify how module B sees numpy.sqrt? If so then that's a very good reason not to do it that way. I've heard people using the term "monkey-patch" before. Is that what that is? --bb ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
