Re: [Numpy-discussion] deprecate fromstring() for text reading?

I think it would be good to keep the usage to read binary data at least. Or is there a good alternative to `np.fromstring(, dtype=...)`? -- Marten On Thu, Oct 22, 2015 at 1:03 PM, Chris Barker wrote: > There was just a question about a bug/issue with scipy.fromstring

I think it would be good to keep the usage to read binary data at least. Agreed -- it's only the text file reading I'm proposing to deprecate. It was kind of weird to cram it in there in the first place. Oh, fromfile() has the same issues. Chris Or is there a good alternative to

[Numpy-discussion] deprecate fromstring() for text reading?

There was just a question about a bug/issue with scipy.fromstring (which is numpy.fromstring) when used to read integers from a text file. https://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-user/2015-October/036746.html fromstring() is bugging and inflexible for reading text files -- and it is a very, very
