supported numpy kwarg?

Hi,

I want to call a stable argsort on a numpy array. I note that argsort works both as a numpy function and as a ndarray method (the second is not mentioned as implemented but I observe it works), but the kwarg kind does not seem to be supported.

My question here is: is any numpy optional kwarg supported in pythran? Could the documentation specify this or which ones are supported?

pythran 0.12.2

Thanks!

We have kwarg support in Pythran, both at user and package level. It relies on the inspect module to automagically discover values, and sometimes need a bit of help from the compiler. Let me have a look for argsort.

ok, in the case of numpy.argsort it's just that I haven't added support for the kind keyword argument in pythonic (the native backend). inspect does its job as expected (otherwise you'd get a syntax error because kwargs are statically checked).
