To be honest, hearing hardware design and data compression does make me lean towards it not being mainstream enough that inclusion in NumPy really makes sense. But happy to hear opposing opinions. It would be nice to have more of a culture around ufuncs that do not live in NumPy. (I suppose at some point it was more difficult to do C- extension, but that is many years ago). - Sebastian > > BR Oscar Gustafsson > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list -- numpy-discussion@python.org > To unsubscribe send an email to numpy-discussion-le...@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/numpy-discussion.python.org/ > Member address: sebast...@sipsolutions.net _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list -- numpy-discussion@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to numpy-discussion-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/numpy-discussion.python.org/ Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com
