[SciPy-dev] Update and "open issues"

[David Warde-Farley]

Hi David,

I mentioned this on the list a while ago but forgot to open a ticket:

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.where.html?highlight=where#numpy.where

Notice the crossreference link to nonzero() is wrong; it sends you to  
the C API when it should send you to the Python function in the same  
subpackage. I'm not sure how to debug this, or if there's a systematic  
way to find other instances where this is happening and fix them.

David
