The attrs like you sent definitely sounded like it would translate to numpy nearly trivially. I'm very much in favour! -- Marten ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion

[Numpy-discussion] New release note strategy after branching 1.17.

2019-06-12 Thread Sebastian Berg
Hi all, we had discussed trying a new strategy to gather release notes on the last community call, but not followed up on it on the list yet. For the next release, we decided to try a strategy of using a wiki page to gather release notes. The main purpose for this is to avoid merge conflicts in
