👋 @furmada - thanks for your submission.

Note that your paper doesn't have a "References" header. Please follow the example paper. In addition, please remove the references you aren't using in the .bib file. Please feel free to make changes to your .bib file, then use the command @editorialbot check references to check the DOI, and the command @editorialbot generate pdf after making changes to the .md file or when the references are right to make a new PDF. editorialbot commands need to be the first entry in a new comment.

In addition, due to the relatively small amount of code, the editors will now discuss if it meets the substantial scholarly effort criterion for review by JOSS. You should hear back in a week or so.

👋 @furmada - I'm sorry to say that after discussion amongst the JOSS editors, we have decided that this submission does not meet the substantial scholarly effort criterion for review by JOSS.

Comments from editors discussed the relatively simplicity of the software and the fact that some of it is wrapping of existing software. Some editors were unsure how it improves upon numpy/scipy for general usage. The lack of tests was also an issue.

Please see https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html#other-venues-for-reviewing-and-publishing-software-packages for other suggestions for how you might receive credit for your work.
