[Numpy-discussion] Updated numpy.random C-API

[Matti Picus]

Hi everyone,


We recently officially exposed and documented[0] the C-API side of 
numpy.random. There are now working examples[3] of using numpy.random 
from numba[1], cython[2], and cffi[5].


Please try this out before the 1.18 release by installing the latest 
HEAD version and making sure the interfaces work for your use case.

There is an open issue[4] for exploring such use cases, but we need 
feedback about where documentation is missing, where functionality falls 
short, and help with sample code demonstrating any of the use cases not 
yet explicitly tested.


Matti
