load

Since pylab's 'load' function has come up,
it may be worth mentioning that it overrides scipy's load function.
(And of course Numeric has its own 'load'.)

It may be a bad habit,
but I doubt I'm the only one who occasionally does
from scipy import *
from pylab import *

I would even claim that both encourage this ...
especially for new users. If that is correct,
and if scipy+pylab is a common pair (as I
believe it is), then perhaps ...

fwiw,

Never mind: this is wrong as stated.
Sorry for the noise.

Nope, it's just Numeric and pylab that have a load() at top-level.

You're definitely *not* the only one.
