Port numpy-mymy upstream into NumPy?

[shoyer]

As a NumPy developer and user, I would love to see this happen. I can't promise I'll have the time to make this happen on my own, but I certainly am willing to help anyone with questions about the process.

Step 1 would be to add a license to this repository, preferably 3-clause BSD like NumPy.

Hi Stephan, It would be fantastic if this is found to be useful upstream and integrated. Some of the work done here was a bit halted due to some limitations on mypy that may have been fixed in recent releases (I haven't retried yet). Some aspects also can be reimplemented in a better way once the protocol feature (currently in design by the mypy team to be presented as a PEP) is ready (and these changes would be "API-breaking" for people using these), so it might be worth waiting a bit.

Other than that, what do you thing would be needed to push this into numpy upstream?

The repo already has a 3-clause BSD in the master branch.

Oops, not sure how I missed the license! Yes, that should already cover it.

You raise a good point about making further improvements. So perhaps it is indeed worth waiting a while before integrating these into NumPy proper, at least as anything other than provisional. Protocols will indeed make a big difference for NumPy.

Let me know if you think it would help to move this repository to any of (1) numpy github account, (2) typeshed or (3) numpy proper.
