If not, it should be removed. But that's the point: they can't be removed. The python C api force you for any function to have two arguments: static PyObject * spam_system(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) Many warnings are "warning: unused argument unused", or "warning: dummy argument unused" :) You can't remove them form the argument list. > If the warnings are too > numerous, filter them.

Because at the C level, both methods and functions have exactly the signature, so for a function, you have an unused argument. AFAIK, most C functions in numpy are functions, not methods. As I said, it is inherent to the way C python functions are defined. Again, using the mangling method would mean that any attempt to use the argument would generate an error from the compiler, so you can't hide anything. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
