Got me thinking that I had finally found a use for the 'where' kwarg of ufuncs. Unfortunately it is only provided for the ufunc itself, but not for any of its methods.
Is there any fundamental reason these were not implemented back in the day? Any frontal opposition to having them now?
The where= argument stuff was rescued from the last aborted attempt to add missing value support to numpy. The only reason they aren't implemented for the ufunc methods is that Mark didn't get that far.
+1 to adding them now.
can you get `where` in ufuncs without missing value support? what's the result for ufuncs that are not reduce operations? what's the result for reduce operations along an axis if there is nothing there (in a row or column or ...)? Josef
