Need more comments from scientific community on python-dev

[David L Goldsmith]

Perhaps you could please elaborate on what you regard as "the issue(s)" 
and "what's at stake"?  I'm still comparatively new (been using python 
and numpy circa 8-9 months), but so far I haven't encountered any 
problems I'd attribute to "Python's ... [in]ability to share 
ndarray-like information".  (The most vexing problems I've had have all 
been with matplotlib, its dual-mode API, and its rather clumsy and 
haphazard documentation.)  I'd like to be supportive, but not blindly-so.
