Please read the c.l.py thread and see where all this comes from. My posts have been repeatedly forwarded here out of context. Note that the (X'*X)\(X'*y) syntax is Matlab, not python. I mentioned text processing and COM because it was claimed that requesting additional binary operators for matrix is similar to requesting special syntax for text processing and COM. I have repeatedly stated here and elsewhere, that I do NOT want special syntax. I only want a few more binary operators that bear resemblance to the existing ones. I want them in such a way that as long as you do not use them, NOTHING would be changed. However several people continuously said: you cannot get that because that's too much of a request, however you should get your own complete parser so that you can make any syntax as you want, even if it is incompatible. I find this very strange. Maybe the audience here do not appreciate it, but "matrix people" are not some aliens, and matrix computation need to be compatible with everything else in python. If I'm only going to do matrix but nothing else, why wouldn't I just stick with octave? > if you cannot get your Python facts right, why should I trust you > when you say that "Python needs this or that"? Maybe if you read all the original posts you would find these "wrong facts" just disappears. You might also find that many people did not get the fact right about what is being asked in these threads. One sure way to get the facts right is to get MatPy, unar, type make install, and see what you get. It's not that difficult, at least easier than writing these emails.
