pygame and numpy are parts of Sugar Platform[1], at least for 0.84, so, the right question is should these pakcages be a part of SP-0.86 I guess +1 for both, since we have honey activities that are depend on these packages.
In Sugar shell 0.82, the only thing that numpy was providing was a bit matrix. In 0.82, we replaced it with faster and lighter C code in sugar-base, and it was a big performance win.
I suspect the #1 usecase for numpy is to compensate for lack of good array support in Python.
Questions:
- are there lighter-weight alternatives for the most popular uses of
numpy?
- how many of the existing activities actually depend on numpy?
A quick repo query gives me pippy and sugar-speak in the fedora repo.
