Why can't you distinguish between them the same way that the matrix
class does? Shape [1, N] is a row array, shape [N,1] is column array.
Yep, that works. But there are still various annoyances.
- You have to remeber to specify extra brackets all the time. Like array([[1,2,3]]) or array([[1],[2],[3]]).
- And a slice of a vector out of a matrix has to be pumped back up to 2-D. If x has ndim==2, then to get a column out of it you have to do x[:,i,None] instead of just x[:,i]. To get a row you need x[j,None] instead of just x[j]
So matrix gets rid of a few annoyances like that ... and replaces them with a few of its own. :-)
