Hi all,
a while back there was a discussion about new operators for the language, which ended in people mentioning that the status of PEP 225 was still undecided and that it was the most likely route to consider in this discussion. I offered to collect some feedback from the numerical and math/scientific computing communities and report back here.
While not an user of numpy, I feel legitimate to give my feedback as a person with a scientific background. I personally have always felt the lack of a binary operator expressing non-commutative multiplication. It could be used for matrices, but also for functions composition and other more abstract things. I think a single new operator is all is needed.
