[SciPy-Dev] Opinions on deprecating and removing scipy.interpolate.interpolate_wrapper?

[Evgeni Burovski]

Hi,

Here's this corner of scipy.interpolate:


In [1]: from scipy.interpolate.interpolate_wrapper import <TAB>
_interpolate               linear
absolute_import            logarithmic
atleast_1d_and_contiguous  nearest
block                      np
block_average_above        print_function
division


These functions are tested, but are not documented, and not exposed to
the top level namespace. These were added in 2008 and have only
received a handful maintenance touches since then. They look like bits
and pieces from some larger effort which went unfinished and
abandoned.

Here's a PR which proposes to deprecate and eventually remove them,
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/7187

Are you using these functions? Would you miss them if they're gone? Do
you see a benefit from them being kept? Would you use them if they are
documented?
Please speak up.

Cheers,

Evgeni
