I have my timelines confused. Numeric has neither amax() nor max(). I don't actually recall the sequence of events, then. > How about sum ? > Does "from numpy import *" > overwrite the builtin sum ? Try it. > not to mention the "symmetry" / consistency argument for having "asum" ? At this point, I don't care to cater to "from numpy import *" use case.
