The ``verbose`` argument is also activated, it was previously ignored. +* A ``dtype`` parameter has been added to ``np.random.randint`` + Random ndarrays of the following types can now be generated: + + - np.bool, + - np.int8, np.uint8, + - np.int16, np.uint16, + - np.int32, np.uint32, + - np.int64, np.uint64, + - np.int_ (long), np.intp + + The specification is by precision rather than by C type. Hence, on some + platforms np.int64 may be a `long` instead of `long long` even if the + specified dtype is `long long` because the two may have the same + precision. The resulting type depends on which c type numpy uses for the + given precision. The byteorder specification is also ignored, the + generated arrays are always in native byte order. + Improvements ============ |
