[Numpy-discussion] basearray (original) (raw)

Dear all,

Some of you might be aware that a project has been granted to me for this year's Google's Summer of Code, which aims at preparing a base multidimensional array type for Python. While I had a late start at it, I would like to go through with the project.

The focus is on preparing a minimal type, that basically only defines how memory is alllocated for the array, and which can be used by other, more sophisticated types. Later during the project, the type may be enhanced, depending on how using it in practice (also part of the project) works out.

Wiki page about the project: http://scipy.org/BaseArray SVN repository: http://svn.scipy.org/svn/PEP/

In order to make this a potential success, I definately need feedback from all you out there interested in pushing such a base type towards Python core. So any comments and opinions are welcome! I will keep you informed on my progress and ask about things that may need concensus (although I'm not sure which lists will be the most interested in this). Please note that I am still in the phase of completing the minimal type, so the svn repository does not contain a working example, yet.

Regards, Karol Langner
