Array API compliance

[lshaw8317]

The following is a summary of the failing tests in the array-api-tests suite. When you have managed to make the test pass, mark the box next to the file.

There are three main groups of tests:
1 - lazy expression and chunking related things (unique_counts, cumulative_sum etc.)
2 - indexing related things (chiefly implement fancy indexing for .slice method)
3 - improving numexpr (add op_codes such as ge_bcd etc.)

• test_utility_functions.py : add blosc2.diff function, squeeze needs to be modified to return a view (at C-level, follow expand_dims)
• test_statistical_functions.py : add cumulative_sum and cumulative_prod
• test_special_cases.py: everything
• test_sorting_functions.py: add argsort
• test_signatures.py : everything
• test_set_functions.py: add unique_counts, unique_inverse, unique_all, unique_values
• test_searching_functions.py: add argmax, argmin, where attribute to NDArray, nonzero, count_nonzero
• test_operators_and_elementwise_functions.py: everything
• test_manipulation_functions.py: SERIOUS (Fatal Python error: Floating-point exception)
• test_linalg.py: haven't implemented most things (see Array-api Linalg functions #476), which is fine, but some tests also fail because numexpr needs a ge_bcd opcode.
• test_inspection_functions: passes all
• test_indexing_functions.py: need to improvetake and take_along_axis (latter fails tests)
• test_has_names : fails 23 tests, need to add functions listed in comment below
• test_fft.py: skips all tests
• test_data_type_functions.py: a few different things (11 tests), add broadcast_arrays
• test_creation_functions.py: add reshape for N-D arrays.
• test_constants.py: passes all
• test_array_object.py: one test takes too long for some reason sometimes

In order to run the tests, follow these steps:

1. Git clone array-api test suite https://github.com/data-apis/array-api-tests
2. Navigate to array-api-tests and $ pip install -r requirements.txt into environment.
3. Return to home directory, git clone blosc2, navigate to resulting directory and pip install -e . in your environment.
4. Run tests from python-blosc2 directory via
   ARRAY_API_TESTS_MODULE=blosc2 pytest ../array-api-tests/array_api_tests/test_has_names.py

Seems like the remaining functions we need are:

• tril
• triu
• flip
• repeat
• roll
• tile
• argmax/argmin
• searchsorted
• cumulative_sum/cumulative_prod
• argsort
• diff
• unique_counts/unique_inverse/unique_values/unique_all
• broadcast_arrays
• moveaxis
• unstack
• from_dlpack/__dlpack__/__dlpack_device__
