[Numpy-discussion] Issue with np.median and array subclasses in 1.8.0rc (worked with 1.7.0)

[Thomas Robitaille]

Hi,

The behavior for ``np.median`` and array sub-classes has changed in
1.8.0rc, which breaks unit-handling code (such as the ``quantities``
package, or ``astropy.units``):

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/3846

This previously worked from Numpy 1.5 (at least) to Numpy 1.7. Is
there a new (and better) way to override the ``np.median`` behavior?

Cheers,
Tom
