Dispatching to a different method seems like a no brainer indeed. The question is whether we really need to do this in C.
I need to do both unweighted & weighted histograms and we got a factor 5 using (simple) cython: it is in the proceedings of Euroscipy, last year. http://arxiv.org/pdf/1412.6367.pdf We got much faster but that's another story. In fact, many people coming from IDL or Matlab are surprised by the poor performances of numpy's histogram. Cheers -- Jérôme Kieffer tel +33 476 882 445
