Rebase of #9508.
This is the case for x in {int, bool, str, float, complex, object}. Using the np.{x} version is deceptive as it suggests that there is a difference. This change doesn't affect any external behavour. The
long
type is missing in python 3, so np.long is still useful. Likewise with np.unicode.It may be difficult to deprecate these (#6103), but there's no reason we should be using them within our own code, or within our documentation.
Simple find and replace of np.(int|complex|object|str|bool|float)\b with $1.
