Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request delivers a comprehensive modernization of the numpy-stl library, enhancing its development experience, code quality, and maintainability. The changes span across the build system, CI/CD pipelines, type safety, testing infrastructure, and user-facing documentation, all while preserving backwards compatibility for existing users. The primary goal was to bring the project up to modern Python standards without altering core library behavior.

Highlights

  • Build System Modernization: Migrated the project to use pyproject.toml for build configuration, replacing legacy setup.py, setup.cfg, and MANIFEST.in files. The __about__.py file was updated to use importlib.metadata for version resolution, and the ruff linter target was bumped to Python 3.10.
  • Speedups Externalization: Extracted Cython speedup code to an external speedups package, making numpy-stl a pure Python library. A new _compat.py module was introduced to auto-detect and integrate these optional speedups, and a [fast] optional extra was added for easy installation.
  • CI/CD & Developer Tooling: Consolidated CI workflows into a single GitHub Actions configuration, including comprehensive testing across multiple Python and NumPy versions, linting, and type checking. PyPI Trusted Publishing was set up for automated releases, and lefthook pre-commit hooks were configured for fast local checks. Legacy CI references (AppVeyor, Coveralls, Travis) were removed.
  • Type Hints & Testing Enhancements: Resolved all strict-mode errors for ty and pyrefly type checkers, ensuring 100% type hint coverage. Achieved 100% test coverage with enforcement in CI, including new tests for __about__.py version fallback and _compat.py speedups detection.
  • Documentation & Community Updates: Overhauled documentation with a modern README.md, a detailed CONTRIBUTING.md for developers, and a backfilled CHANGELOG.md. Sphinx documentation was migrated to the Furo theme with a 3-tier navigation structure, and all public APIs received thorough Google-style docstrings with usage examples and edge case notes.

Pull request overview

Modernizes the numpy-stl repository across packaging, optional speedups, CI/tooling, typing/testing, and documentation, aligning the project with a pyproject/uv-based workflow and refreshed Sphinx docs.

Changes:

  • Migrates legacy build/test config (setup.py/tox/pytest.ini/etc.) to pyproject.toml and uv tooling; adds lefthook and updated CI workflows.
  • Externalizes Cython speedups into an optional speedups dependency via a new _compat detection layer and [fast] extra; removes in-repo Cython sources.
  • Rebuilds documentation (README + Sphinx structure), adds/updates tests for new import-time/version behaviors, and adds project planning/audit artifacts.

The examples in this section use stl.Mode.* but stl isn’t imported in the snippet, so readers copying this will get a NameError. Import stl (or import Mode directly) in the same code block before referencing stl.Mode.

The has_speedups() docstring uses triple double-quotes, which conflicts with the project’s stated convention of single quotes for docstrings. Align this docstring quoting with CONTRIBUTING.md to keep style consistent.

Catching a blanket Exception here can mask unexpected import-time failures and make debugging harder. Since the intended fallback is only when the distribution metadata isn’t available, prefer catching importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError (and optionally ImportError for very old environments) instead of all exceptions.

P2 Badge Make speedups CI job fail on regressions

The test-speedups job currently marks both the dependency install and test execution as continue-on-error, so breakages in the fast-path can pass CI unnoticed. In practice, if .[tests,fast] stops installing or speedups tests fail, the workflow can still report success, which defeats the purpose of adding this validation job and allows speedups regressions to reach master/develop.
