If I remember correctly, what would happen is that matplotlib's table() function will simply obliterate the numpy's table function. This isn't a show-stopper, I just wanted to point that out.<br>
<br>Personally, while I wasn't a particular fan of "count_unique" because I wouldn't necessarially think of it when needing a contingency table, I do like that it is verb-ish. "table()", in this sense, is not a verb. That said, I am perfectly fine with it if you are fine with the name collision in pylab mode.<br>

I only changed it to have something that sounded more table-ish, like the Pandas, R and Matlab functions. I won't update it right now, but if there is interest in putting it into numpy, I'll rename it to avoid the pylab conflict. Anything along the lines of `crosstab`, `xtable`, etc., would be fine with me.<br>

<br>I also agree that the extension you propose here is useful; but ideally, with a little more discussion on these subjects we can converge on an even more comprehensive overhaul</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>

Prompted by that stackoverflow question, and similar problems I had to deal with myself, I started working on a much more general extension to numpy's functionality in this space. Like you noted, things get a little panda-y, but I think there is a lot of panda's functionality that could or should be part of the numpy core, a robust set of grouping operations in particular.<br>
