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

Who is maintaining the Python manual actually? -- Pablo Bleyer Kocik |"And all this science I don't understand pbleyer | It's just my job five days a week @dgf.uchile.cl | A rocket man, a rocket man..." - Elton John from sys import*;from string import*;a=argv;[s,p,q]=filter(lambda x:x[:1]!= '-',a);d='-d'in a;e,n=atol(p,16),atol(q,16);l=(len(q)+1)/2;o,inb=l-d,l-1+d while s:s=stdin.read(inb);s and map(stdout.write,map(lambda i,b=pow(reduce( lambda x,y:(x<<8L)+y,map(ord,s)),e,n):chr(b>>8*i&255),range(o-1,-1,-1)))
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.

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.
