WIP: Change the signature of pick_random #155
Conversation
Parent pickers are no longer passed any kwargs. The pick_random must now be initialised before use, the number of parents passed to it upon initialization. In addition, pickers must always return a sequence of picked parents - even if it is only one. These changes make it much easier to implement more complex picking algorithms, and in addition they remove the requirement for the select_arguments() decorator, which hurts my eyes.

This does feel like a breaking change. Might a deprecation warning be a nice thing to add here? |
It is certainly is a breaking change. Hence it would probably be best to only publish this in v2.0. Adding a deprecation warning here doesn't make much sense: you'd be saying "this isn't going to work in the future, but you cannot do anything about it right now". |

I can live with that. But since we're not at version 1 yet, is there a reason you immediately want to jump to 2? |

Oops, I thought we were… Let’s call it 1.0 then 😊

@rogiervandergeer are there other changes we'd like to make for version 1? I mean ... version 1 is a milestone release. |
|
One thing that I've been wondering about is that we may then also submit evol to this: https://joss.theoj.org/ |
|
I guess! Let’s not release anything yet 😊
