Hello all, I have PR #7325 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/7325/files> up that changes the internal calls for functions in *fromnumeric.py* from positional arguments to keyword arguments. I made this change for two reasons:
1) It is consistent with the external function signature 2) The inconsistency caused a breakage in *pandas* in its own implementation of *searchsorted* in which the *sorter* argument is not really used but is accepted so as to make it easier for *numpy* users who may be used to the *searchsorted* signature in *numpy*. The standard in *pandas* is to "swallow" those unused arguments into a *kwargs* argument so that we don't have to document an argument that we don't really use. However, that turned out not to be possible when *searchsorted* is called from the *numpy* library. Does anyone have any objections to the changes I made? Thanks! Greg
