Where's the PEP? You don't expect me to argue the point for the numpy
community do you? Once there's a PEP I'll read it and comment. Last I
saw this thread Travis was asking for volunteers to write the PEP.
Personally I think this is too close to the Python 2.5 release
schedule to go ahead; but that's really up to the release managers.
However, without a PEP there's an automatic "no".
