ENH: add np.array_info utility for quick array summaries #29206
Conversation
We propose the implementation of a new utility function np.array_info(). This function provides a quick summary of the structure and content of ndarray objects. np.array_info(array) will return a dictionary of useful information and basic statistics.

Generally new NumPy API additions require at least a GitHub issue and a ping to the NumPy mailing list. Before spending a bunch of time implementing an idea, it's best to open an issue or check the history or issues to make sure it's a worthwhile endeavor. Questions that would need to be answered before this gets added:
Also you need to document this (it will not automatically be picked up by the API docs), add a release note, and make sure the tests are all passing before this is mergeable. All that said, I'll go ahead and mark this as draft. |
