You're right that some kind of categorization would be very valuable. I think that this is planned, but the doc marathon organizers can presumably give a more detailed answer. > Until now, the most efficient why of finding the numpy function that > fits my needds what to search after some words in the numpy example > list page. This was not always very fast and labels like "array > creation", "shape manipulation", "index operation", > "arithmetic", ...etc, could simplify this kind of search. In the short term, there's the numpy functions by category page on the wiki: http://www.scipy.org/Numpy_Functions_by_Category Of course, this page is already incomplete, and nobody is systematically updating it. Really the right solution is what you propose, annotating each function and then automatically generating such a list.
