Hi, Summary: Slicing seems to be broken with matrices now.
I eagerly installed the new beta, but soon stumbled over this bug. I hope I'm missing something, but afaics that behavior used to be different (and correct) before in 0.9.8. Don't know exactly when this changed, though. I did a fresh install (uninstalled old numpy and also matplotlib first) of the official binary for windows/python 2.4. Example: >>> import numpy as n >>> n.__version__ '1.0b1' >>> import numpy.matlib as m >>> a = n.zeros((2,3)) >>> b = m.zeros((2,3)) >>> a[:1,:].shape (1, 3) >>> b[:1,:].shape (3, 1) >>> Note the array slicing works correct, but the equivalent thing with the matrix does not. I also noticed the following (in a new python session) import strangeness: >>> import numpy >>> numpy.matlib.zeros((2,3)) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ? AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'matlib' >>> Why is the direct access to matlib impossible? Either I'm missing something (I well may be, because I'm melting away at 36 centigrades or so...), or imho a new beta should be put out quickly to enable further testing (and use).
