Is there a substitute for the deprecated combinatorics functions? FYI, a few years ago, I wrote a Python combinatorics package to fill in some of the gaps in `itertools`. My package can be found here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Combinatorics/1.4.5 Phillip On Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 12:43 PM, Warren Weckesser < warren.weckesser@gmail.com> wrote:
According to the SciPy roadmap (https://github.com/scipy/ scipy/blob/master/doc/ROADMAP.rst.txt#misc), `scipy.misc` will eventually be removed. Currently, the combinatorial functions and the image-related operations are all deprecated. The only non-deprecated functions in `misc` are `central_diff_weights()`, `derivative()` and the two functions that return image data: `ascent()` and `face()`.
As a steps towards the deprecation of `misc`, I propose that we create a new package, `scipy.data`, for holding data sets. `ascent()` and `face()` would move there, and the new ECG data set proposed in a current pull request (https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/8627) would be put there.
An early version of the roadmap suggested moving the images to `scipy.ndimage`, but that is no longer in the text. I think a separate subpackage for data sets makes sense.
What do you think?
P.S. If there is already a similar proposal in the mailing list or on github, or any other older mailing list discussions related to this, let me know.
