Bottleneck 0.5.0

Release date: 2011-06-13

The fifth release of bottleneck adds four new functions, comes in a single source distribution instead of separate 32 and 64 bit versions, and contains bug fixes.

J. David Lee wrote the C-code implementation of the double heap moving window median.

New functions

  • move_median(), moving window median

  • partsort(), partial sort

  • argpartsort()

  • ss(), sum of squares, faster version of scipy.stats.ss

Changes

  • Single source distribution instead of separate 32 and 64 bit versions

  • nanmax and nanmin now follow Numpy 1.6 (not 1.5.1) when input is all NaN

Bug fixes

  • Support python 2.5 by importing with statement (#14)

  • nanmedian wrong for particular ordering of NaN and non-NaN elements (#22)

  • argpartsort, nanargmin, nanargmax returned wrong dtype on 64-bit Windows (#26)

  • rankdata and nanrankdata crashed on 64-bit Windows (#29)
