Hi All,

Do we have a policy for the stacklevel that should be used in NumPy? How far back should the stack be displayed? I note that the optimum stacklevel may vary between users and developers.

I thought it was so that it will point to the correct user line (or tend to point there). So stacklevel=2 for exposed and higher for private (python) functions IIRC. As for developers, I would hope they are OK with (and know how to) turning the warning into an error.

Not sure we discussed it much, I seem to have a vague memory of asking if we are sure this is what we want and at least Ralf agreeing. Also I don't know how consistent it is overall.
