I just thought I would write a few words about what will be happening with numarray development. At the moment it is quiescent since we have another internal project to finish. Hopefully that will be done in 3 weeks or so; we will start work on numarray again. I've gotten feedback from Guido regarding the safety issue; he made it clear that we should not be able to let the user crash Python, even if they can do that only by bypassing the public interface. Since there may be implications for the C-API we are making that our highest priority (though I don't think it will seriously change the API). Thanks for the feedback so far. We will raise other specific issues as we get closer to dealing with them. Perry
