Description

@btel

The documentation is not consistent in spelling of "NumPy" (vs "Numpy"). For example, the reference manual uses both spelling in the introduction paragraph:

This reference manual details functions, modules, and objects included in Numpy, describing what they are and what they do. For learning how to use NumPy, see also :ref:user.

What is the official spelling? Make it consistent across all documentation.

This issue was initially reported at Scipy Lectures (scipy-lectures/scientific-python-lectures#250) by @btel and @emmanuelle.

Following the discussion on the mailing list and recommendations of @pdebuyl to close the issue:

  • update the docs to use NumPy when we refer to the project and numpy only in relation to the module name
  • explain the rules of "NumPy" spelling in the NumPy docs
