Development Plans for SciPy 1.0

See http://www.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/wiki/DevelopmentPlan for updates of this document.

Contents

General

  • distributions heavy use of extract and insert (could use fancy indexing?) -- but we should wait until we learn how slow fancy indexing is....)
  • Use of old Numeric C-API. Using it means an extra C-level function call, but ...
  • Make use of type addition to extend certain ufuncs with cephes quad types
  • Use finfo(foo).bar instead of limits.foo_bar (see r3358 and r3362)
  • Comply with Python Style Guide
  • use CamelCase for class names
  • Improve testing (e.g., increased coverage)

Documentation

See http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/wiki/CodingStyleGuidelines

  • use new docstring format

Packages

  • consider reorganizing the namespace
  • scipy.tests, scipy.misc, scipy.stsci

IO (scipy.io)

  • io rewritten to use internal writing capabilities of arrays

Image Processing (scipy.ndimage)

Statistical Analysis (scipy.stats)

  • add statistical models
