I have a package based on subclassing numarray, which is working satisfactorily, and am looking at the possibility of transferring the package to work under the revised Numeric. My feeling is that the transfer is probably feasible but that it would be premature to work on it at this time. One of the problems is the cluttered namespace, through the use of "from X import *". This is a style which is deprecated, see page 401 of Alex Martelli's /Python in a Nutshell/. Another problem, at this stage, is that many doc strings are missing and that some which exist are a little cryptic. I would like to take another look when the next win32 binaries are available. Some further thoughts on the present state of Numeric3.0 are available here <http://www3.sympatico.ca/cjw/scipy1/>. Colin W,
