+1 It seems there is a fair amount of favor for adding the new names. There is some resistance to removing the old ones. I would be happy to deprecate the old ones, but leave them in until we release a new major release (i.e., NumPy 2.0.0). We could start creating a list of API/ABI clean-ups for whenever we find a compelling reason to release a new major version. In the meantime, we can leave the old names in and just add a deprecation note to the docs. Once we are ready to release 2.0, we can release a 1.x with deprecation warnings. -- Jarrod Millman Computational Infrastructure for Research Labs 10 Giannini Hall, UC Berkeley phone: 510.643.4014 http://cirl.berkeley.edu/ _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
