dist is an attribute of the frozen class. the frozen class delegates to the real class and has that attached as `dist`
so this is the same as the upper bound .b attribute of the class.
Sure. I have seen this in the code. The point I wanted to make is that for a user who doesn't (want to) read the source the text in the example is somewhat confusing. Shouldn't these doc strings be targeted at plain users (with `plain' I have no derogatory intentions)?
As a user I would think it's just an upper bound for the plot. But I'm not a good measure for users new to the distributions. It would be possible to inject a number into the docstring, by changing the template https://github.com/scipy/scipy/blob/master/scipy/stats/distributions.py#L115... Josef
btw, I am compiling a list of points about the scipy.stats code. Once finished what should I do with it? Would it be best to send it to this list? Should I send the points one by one, or better as one file?
I am very enthousiastic about the fact that the code is now easily accessible via the web.
pull request on github?
depends on what the "points" are. If you find bugs, individual tickets would be useful. If you find several/many smaller things, then one would make it easier to go over all of them.

Hi,
While reading the code and the examples of scipy.stats I came across the attribute rv.dist. Specifically, line 227 of the scipy.stats source on the gibhub server mentions:
>> x = np.linspace(0, np.minimum(rv.dist.b, 3))
The problem is that the meaning of this attribute is nowhere explained. Is this a bug?
Do you have the github link to the source? It's not clear which module you are talking about. (klick on line number and you get the link to that specific line) It would safe me some time searching for this.
