[Numpy-discussion] Py3 merge

[Pauli Virtanen]

Hi,

I'd like to commit my Py3 Numpy branch to SVN trunk soon:

	http://github.com/pv/numpy-work/commits/py3k

For an overview, check the notes:

	http://github.com/pv/numpy-work/blob/py3k/doc/Py3K.txt

None of the changes should affect behavior on Py2. The test status
currently is:

        Python 3.1:
        Ran 1964 tests in 10.294s
        FAILED (KNOWNFAIL=5, errors=435, failures=74)
        
        Python 2.4:
        Ran 2480 tests in 18.209s
        OK (KNOWNFAIL=4, SKIP=2)
        
        Python 2.5:
        Ran 2483 tests in 18.552s
        OK (KNOWNFAIL=4)
        
        Python 2.6:
        Ran 2484 tests in 20.359s
        OK (KNOWNFAIL=5)

The next TODOs are:

- Map 'S' scalartype to 'U' on Py3, and add a new scalartype for bytes 
- Finish the rest of the PyString transition
- Fix I/O
- Hammer out causes for test failures

More TODOs are listed in Py3K.txt.
