Description
Merge bashtage/randomgen into numpy, as part of NEP 19.
- get the cythonize to work properly. Currently we call
python -mcython infile outfilewith no ability to add extra command line args - get the code to compile and import
- get the tests to run and pass
- replace mtrand with randomgen
- work the documentation cleanly into our documentation
- fix any TODOs
- decrease module depth by moving numpy.random.randomgen.* into numpy.random
- rewrite parts of documentation as randomgen is not outside numpy.random
- benchmark
- check that the NEP and the implementation are consistent
Post merge checklist
- work through the other issues and PRs related to random
- make documentation flow more smoothly with indices, heirarchies
- integrate examples to Numba, Cython, CFFI, ctypes more tightly
- refactor out the common BRNG attribute/method documentation
- discuss deprecating np.random.seed and access to functions via np.random.xxx
- fix vendored code for NumPy style (two-space tabbing and more)
Edit: add more tasks (replace mtrand, fix TODOs)
Edit: add NEP check
Edit: add post-merge tasks
