  ...function is new. For bit-for-bit compatibility with prior releases, use the whseed function instead. The new seed function addresses two problems: (1) The old function couldn't produce more than about 2**24 distinct internal states; the new one about 2**45 (the best that can be done in the Wichmann-Hill generator). (2) The old function sometimes produced identical internal states when passed distinct integers, and there was no simple way to predict when that would happen; the new one guarant...

• Notes

  ...Function objects now have a __module__ attribute that is bound to the name of the module in which the function was defined. This applies for C functions and methods as well as functions and methods defined in Python. This attribute is used by pickle.whichmodule(), which changes the behavior of whichmodule slightly. In Python 2.2 whichmodule() returns "__main__" for functions that are not defined at the top-level of a module (examples: methods, nested functions). Now whichmodule() wi...

  ...functionality to cause people to begin to switch (outside of astronomy, those will be driven by our libraries that are using numarray) Slower performance for small arrays. Since more of it is written in Python, it is an order of magnitude slower for smaller arrays (but just as fast or faster for large arrays (> 1MB)). Optimization is in our plans, but won't be done until we fill out the libraries and finish the safety issue (which is near completion). Becau...
