We are adding examples (read: doctests) to every function, which serve as unit tests at the same time. In writing these, we do come across bugs (like http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/ticket/798), for which tickets are filed. This is a documentation drive, though, so the examples are illustrative; we don't aim to write exhaustive unit tests that cover all corner cases. That said, any person who wishes to contribute unit tests is most welcome to do so. I can guarantee that your patches will be applied speedily :) Regards Stéfan _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
