I am using scipy.stats.ttest_ind to calculate a Welch's test for two samples, and I'm wondering if there is a way to determine the degrees of freedom used. To run the test I set the equal_val=False. I found documentation for calculating the degrees of freedom using the Welch-Satterhwaite equation, but I'm hoping there is something in Scipy (or perhaps Numpy) that I've overlooked.
