[Numpy-discussion] last call for fixes for numpy 1.8.1rc1

[Francesc Alted]

Hi Julian,

Any chance that NPY_MAXARGS could be increased to something more than 
the current value of 32?  There is a discussion about this in:

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/226

but I think that, as Charles was suggesting, just increasing NPY_MAXARGS 
to something more reasonable (say 256) should be enough for a long while.

This issue limits quite a bit the number of operands in numexpr 
expressions, and hence, to other projects that depends on it, like 
PyTables or pandas.  See for example this bug report:

https://github.com/PyTables/PyTables/issues/286

Thanks,
Francesc
