Could you give an example on how you picture this? I think I get the general idea but I'm not sure how you would implement it. You want the user to provide some other computational backend that is somehow plugged into scikits-image, as far as i understand. Also: Do you think the easy switching between the implementations is a good enough reason for the additional complexity? I often use CUDA functions in my programs but they are usually just wrapped in some python package. I never really saw the need to fall back on other implementations once I included them. Why is that important? Don't get me wrong, I'm not as opposed as it might sound, I'm just trying to figure the idea out ;) Andy
