I have a couple of question about the Numpy documentation: 1. Is there a recent version of the Numerical Python manual available anywhere? I can't find it at the SourceForge and I've tried xfiles.llnl.org, but can't get through. (But from what Paul Dubois has said recently about the LLNL site, I shouldn't expect to either.) 2. Have any changes been made to the documentation since about Q1 1999? I think my current version dates from about this period. -- Paul

I'm currently build a reference for NumPy and some of the other modules in the format of the standard python library reference. At the moment this is more a personal effort to get an overview which functions are there. I do not really write stuff myself, but bring information of various sources together and reformat it. Than I want to test some approaches to extract info for a function from the HTML source at the interactive commandline. I see this not as a replacement for the excellent PDF documentation, which has far more information and many examples. The standard latex documentation package for Python has currently a bug with the index generation. If this is solved I will put a HTML tree online, so it can be examined and criticized. Yust for information, __Janko

This is not totally related, but I'd love to see a docbook based doc for numpy. See, I am writing GmatH (http://gmath.sourceforge.net) and among otherb things it provides a nice GUI (I hope) to NumPy. Now I'd love to see a docbook based thinggy that could be added to the app using a gtkhtml widget (duh!). It'd be nice to also have a Quick help file that I could incorporate into the app.
