Do you (or anyone else) have a preference? Using `np.lib.<submodule>` for future things especially if they don't feel like core functionality seems good. (I am not a big fan of having a second large namespace, but have little preference for where we would would put new submodules, i.e. in `np.lib`.<submodule> or `np.<submodule>` directly.) For these particular ones, I still slightly prefer `np.types` and `np.exceptions`, but happy either way. One disadvantage of the main namespace is that it is so large, it is hard to find submodules :). - Sebastian > > Stéfan > _______________________________________________ > 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
