I'm rewriting the statistics module and would like to take over some of the names in the previous version. I'm wondering who would mind or what our policy is on backwards compatibility.
Previously there was a distributions.py file with two Distribution objects, Normal and Uniform. I'd like to take over these two words in the namespace to create my own Normal and Uniform random variable objects. This would break anyone's code who uses them currently. Does anyone use them currently? The way I see it there are two decent options 1) Take over these names, delete the old distributions.py file (all old functionality exists in the new version, just with new syntax) 2) Leave distributions.py intact, use names like NormalRV and ExponentialRV for all of my random variable creation functions in my code. -Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
