I'm afraid that I don't understand this proposal. Can you show some examples of what you would like to see? Preferably, can you write some working code that demonstrates this feature? -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco ___ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
[Numpy-discussion] Proposing Ubiquity
Hi all, Would it make sense for all functionality in Numpy/Scipy to have ubiquitous returns? In that I'm proposing that every func/method (where appropriate) have a flag in its arg list establishing a return for either [INDEX, BOOLEAN, VALUE=default]. this could be by a singular Enum flag, I believe. Obvioulsy, this proposal gives the option for a return of Index/Bool to be used for Indexing arrays, or the actual values. Since I mosty index existing arrays, this would be a huge plus for me.
