I'm going to be tagging the tree for the NumPy 1.0.2 release tomorrow evening in preparation for the release on Monday. I've closed several bugs. Are there any show-stoppers remaining to be fixed? -Travis

Assembling an array from parts
by Bill Baxter 02 Apr '07

What's the best way of assembling a big matrix from parts? I'm using lagrange multipliers to enforce constraints and this kind of matrix comes up a lot: [[ K, G], [ G.T , 0]] In matlab you can use the syntax [K G; G' zeros(nc)] In numpy I'm using vstack([ hstack([ K,G ]), hstack([ G.T, zeros((nc,nc)) ]) ]) Which has a lot of excess verbiage and parentheses that make it hard to type and hard to parse what's going on. It would be a little nicer if there were some kind of function like 'arraystack': arraystack( [ [K, G], [G.T, zeros((nc,nc)) ]] ) Is there anything like this already? I haven't found anything in the example list like that. But maybe concatenate() is flexible enough --bb

Just asking. In [35]: type(array(1.0)*2) Out[35]: <type 'numpy.float64'> In [36]: type(array(1.0)) Out[36]: <type 'numpy.ndarray'> Chuck

organizational question
by Alan G Isaac 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

Is either NumPy or SciPy substantially supported by an identifiable and actual non-profit organization? I ask because I think both fit under http://www.mellon.org/grant_programs/programs/copy_of_research item 4. Here is the announcement: http://matc.mellon.org/ Note that universities are among the nominees: http://matc.mellon.org/2007_nominations Cheers, Alan Isaac
