[SciPy-User] scipy.stats.distributions.erlang - "boring" consensus building in a ticket

Should we restrict the shape parameter to be an integer instead of a float?

http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/ticket/1647

Let's ask the users:

Does anyone want an exception if the shape parameter is not an integer?
Is there a demand or use case for estimating the shape parameter as an
integer instead of a float?

right now erlang and gamma are essentially the same, as far as I can see
