dense output option in integrate.ode
by Evgeni Burovski 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

Hi David, Hi Jim, > I am new to SciPy-dev. Will the dense output option in scipy.integrate.ode > become available in 0.17.0? This is a feature already available in the > original FORTAN, but wasn't implemented in the wrapper. If the feature is sent as a pull request against the scipy master branch, the PR is reviewed by the maintainers of the integrate package and merged into master before the release split, then yes, it would be available in 0.17.0. So far I do not see any progress towards it. > I wrote these dense output extensions that you listed: > > https://github.com/jddmartin/scipy/tree/dense_output_from_dopri5_and_dop853 > https://github.com/jddmartin/dense_output_example_usage > > but I didn't issue any pull request to scipy. I sent this message to the > scipy developers list: > http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.scientific.devel/19635/ > explaining the changes. I was hoping for some feedback before issuing a > pull request. Ah, I see that the email likely fell through the cracks back in April. Sorry about that. You might want to ping that email thread once more or send a pull request on github (or both). <snip> Cheers, Evgeni

PR for Scipy developers guide
by Ralf Gommers 27 Feb '16

27 Feb '16

Hi all, https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/5424 adds a developers guide to the documentation. The PR was open for a while, but I've added some sections and hooked it up to the rest of the docs, so it's ready for review/merge. There are no proposals for changes in there, it's just documenting how we do things now. Still, it would be good to get a few pairs of eyes on it. Cheers, Ralf

removing pure python KDTree implementation
by Ralf Gommers 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hi all, For a long time we've had both a Python (KDTree) and a Cython/C++ (cKDTree) version of a k-d tree structure in scipy.spatial. The cKDTree version reached feature-parity with KDTree in 0.12.0, and new features are being added regularly now. So keeping the orders of magnitude slower pure Python version seems to be a bit pointless - only adds to a maintenance burden and to giving users an unnecessary choice to make. So proposal: remove the pure Python code and make KDTree an alias for cKDTree. This can be done straight away. For the future it may also be desirable to get rid of the duplicate name. The issue then is which one to keep. KDTree is nicer, but it would require users who have picked the fast version now to change their code. So maybe just deprecate one in documentation, but keep both names working? Ralf

Hi all, On behalf of the Scipy developers I'd like to welcome Andrew Nelson and Eric Quintero as members of the core dev team. Andrew has been contributing for ~2 years to scipy.optimize. He's the author of the differential_evolution global optimizer and adapted the ampgo testsuite functions to the benchmark suite (merged just last week) - https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pulls/andyfaff. Eric has been contributing for ~1 year to scipy.signal. He's the author of a number of the spectral analysis functions - https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pulls/e-q. I'm looking forward to their continued contributions! Cheers, Ralf

Hi all, On behalf of the Scipy developers I'd like to welcome Eric Larson and Ian Henriksen as members of the core dev team. Eric has been contributing for ~1.5 years, mostly to scipy.signal. He recently added upfirdn and polyphase resampling, and was one of the authors of the marathon PR on second-order-sections filtering (gh-3717). Ian has also been contributing for ~1.5 years, mostly to scipy.linalg. He is the author of the Cython API for BLAS/LAPACK. I'm looking forward to their continued contributions! Cheers, Ralf
