Hi All, The documentation of Numpy's submodules used to have a fairly standard structure as shown here in the 1.16 documentation:
https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.16.1/reference/routines.random.html Now the same page in the API documentation looks like this: https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/random/index.html While I appreciate the expository text in the new documentation about how the generators work, this new version is much less useful as a reference to the API. It seems like it might fit better in the user manual rather than the API reference. >From my perspective it seems like the new version of the documentation is harder to navigate in terms of finding information quickly (more scrolling, harder to get a bird's eye view of functions in various submodules, etc). Has anyone else had a similar reaction to the changes? I teach a couple of courses in scientific computing and bioinformatics and my students seem to also struggle to get a sense of what the different modules offer based on the new version of the documentation. For now, I'm referring them to the old (1.70) reference manuals as a better way to get acquainted with the libraries. Cheers, Paul Magwene
