Devs, is there any possibility of moving/copying pylab.load to numpy? I don't see anything in the source that requires the rest of matplotlib. Among convenience functions, I think that this function ranks pretty highly in convenience.
I'm supportive of this. But, it can't be named numpy.load.
I am also +1 on this, but this functionality should be implemented in C, I think. I've just tested numpy.fromfile('name.txt', sep=' ') against pylab.load('name.txt') for a 35MB text file, the number are:
numpy.fromfile: 2.66 sec. pylab.load: 16.64 sec.
