All, You'll probably remember that last December, I started rewriting np.loadtxt and ame up with a series of functions that support missing data. I tried to copy/paste the code in numpy.lib.io.py but ran into dependency problems and left it at that. I think that part of the reason is that the code relies on numpy.ma which can't be loaded when numpy.lib gets loaded.
As I needed a way to grant access to the code to anybody, I created a small project on launchpad: you can access it to: https://code.launchpad.net/~pierregm/numpy/numpy_addons The loadtxt reimplementation functions can be found in the numpy.io.fromascii module, their unittest in the corresponding test directory. In addition, you'll find several other functions and their unittest to manipulate arrays w/ flexible data-type. They are basically rewritten version of some functions in matplotlib.mlab. Would anybody be willing to try inserting the new functions in numpy ? I was hoping the genfromtxt and consorts would make it to numpy 1.3.x (I'd need the code for the scikits.timeseries package). As usual, I'd need all the feedback you can share. Thanks a lot in advance.
