Technically, because
>>> maximum.identity is None
True
It is theoretically feasible to change maximum.identity to -inf, but
that would be inconsistent with the
Hi list,
does anybody know, why
maximum.reduce (())
does not return -inf?
Looks very natural to me and as a byproduct maximum.reduce would ignore nans,
thereby removing the need of nanmax etc.
The current convention gives
>>> from numpy import *
>>> maximum.reduce ((1,nan))
1.0
>>> maximum.r
