Hi, The general consensus seems to be in favour of using "NumPy" when referring to the project and "numpy" as a module name. Please note that there are currently PRs in 3 different repositories implementing this practice: - numpy docs: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/8021 - numpy.org websi

There was similar discussion almost two years ago with respect to capitalization of matplotlib in prose. Most of the time, it was lower-case in our documentation, but then the question was if it should be upper-case at the beginning of the sentence... or should it always be upper-cased like a prope

Hi, I would not mind any choice as long as it's consistent. I agree that using all-lowercase spelling may avoid some common errors. However, PEP8 requires all module/package names to be lower case [1]. If we force the name of the library and the corresponding package to be the same, all Python l

Hi all, What is the official spelling of NumPy/Numpy/numpy? The documentation is not consistent and it mixes both NumPy and Numpy. For example, the reference manual uses both spellings in the introduction paragraph (http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/): "This reference manual detai
