Re: Numpy2 and GSL

[Achim Gaedke]

Ok, there is a clear need for the facility of easy contribution.
Please be patient until Friday, December 7th. Then I have time to let it happen.

It is right that the oficial site for this project is at pygsl.sourcefogrge.net
(Brian Gough, can you change the link on the gsl homepage, thanks :-) )

But I will show some discussion points that must be clear before a cvs release:

- Is the file and directory structure fully expandable, can several persons work
parallel?

- Should classes be created with excellent working objects or should it be a 1:1
wrapper?

- should there be one interface dynamic library or more than one?

- Is there an other way expect that of the GPL (personally prefered, but other
opinions should be discussed before the contribution of source)

Some questions of minor weight:

- Is the tuple return value for (value,error) ok in the sf module?

- Test cases are needed

These questions are the reason, why I do not simply "copy" my code into cvs.

I agree with Jochen and I'd like to move to the core of Python too. But this is
far away and I hate monolithic distributions.

If there is the need to discuss seperately about PyGSL we can do that here or at
the gsl-discuss list mailto:gsl-discuss@sources.redhat.com . But there is also
the possibility of a mailinglist at pygsl.sourceforge.net . Please let me know.
