Is there a reason not to include those function where they'll most likely be used? Meaning the images `ascent` and `face` could move to `scipy.ndimage` and the signal `electrocardiogram` to `scipy.signal`? Lars On 29.03.2018 23:08, Bennet Fauber wrote:
I also agree -- if this is where datasets are to be kept and made available, then 'datasets' is probably a better name. That also agrees with the R package called 'datasets', and so might be considered a more 'customary' name.

I don't like the name scipy.data and would prefer something more explicit like scipy.datasets.
My first reaction to the proposal was that we get now a subpackage for functions to work with data.
Like ndimage are functions for images signal are functions for signals spatial are functions for neighborhood
and data are functions for data (e.g. like pandas or similar)
