Eric, I agree it's easier to import * while trying things out.
While fiddling around with jbase I saw that the ctypes names did not leak into the root. They stayed in the sub-namespace. I guess I have just got in the habit of using qualified names. Raul, The pathbin and other settings in jbase is fine. About the only thing I can suggest to improve the functionality of jcore is to increase the size of the text it can display before it displays the "output to large" message. Also, the j() function is pretty sweet. Executing it in python opens up a little J session that is identical to jconsole with the exception of output limits. I for one will find plenty of uses for this addon. jdb On Sun, Mar 4, 2018 at 10:37 AM, Eric Iverson <[email protected]> wrote: > Raul, > > Why does jbase.pathbin need work.
