Not to bicker, but... >>> import numpy >>> len(dir(numpy)) 494 >>> numpy.__version__ '1.0.4' >>> funcs = [s for s in dir(numpy) if type(getattr(numpy, s)) in [type(numpy.array), type(numpy.who)]] >>> len(funcs) 251 >>> classes = [s for s in dir(numpy) if type(getattr(numpy, s)) == type(numpy.ndarray)] >>> len(classes) 88 >>> ufuncs = [s for s in dir(numpy) if type(getattr(numpy, s)) == type(numpy.sin)] >>> len(ufuncs) 69 >>> (and, therefore, another 69 names of "fluff") I honestly don't see much of a problem. The only things that maybe should not have been added to numpy.* are the polynomial functions and the convolution windows, conceptually. But in my book that's not big enough to even think of breaking people's code for. Andreas Proud Member of the Flat Earth Society
