2015-03-03 Thread Stephan Hoyer
I'm pleased to announce a major release of xray, v0.4. xray is an open source project and Python package that aims to bring the labeled data power of pandas to the physical sciences, by providing N-dimensional variants of the core pandas data structures. Our goal is to provide a pandas-like and

Hi All, This is with reference to issue #5626 https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/5626. Currently linalg.norm converts the input like so `x = asarray(x)`. This can produce integer arrays, which in turn may create problems of overflow, or the failure of the abs functions for minimum values of
