You are right that this is messy. We would like to change this sometime. But we'd like to complete the transition to numpy first before doing that so it may be some months before we can (and it may not look quite like what you suggest). But your point is very valid.
Thanks, Perry
Erin P.S. If it is man power that is preventing some of the simple things like this from being implemented, I could volunteer some time.
Ultimately, yes. But there's a little more to it. We've felt there are a number of improvements that can be made and that these might benefit from thinking more globally about how to do them rather than add a few convenience functions. Then there is the issue of whether these changes are added to the numarray version, etc. But help would be welcomed. I'd say wait a little bit until we put out an alpha and then start some discussion on how it should be improved. The astropy mailing list is a better forum for that than this one though. Thanks, Perry
