Changing this sort of fundamental semantics (i.e. size-1 arrays behave like scalars in bool, int, etc. casting context) this late in the game in my opinion should be discussed with more care. While the intention of making it harder to write code with bugs is good, it should not come at the cost of having everyone fix their old scripts, which worked correctly previously, but then suddenly stop working. Note also that I expect polling on this mailing list will not reach the majority of the user base, so I would suggest being very conservative when deprecating features that are not wrong but only with suboptimal semantics. This sort of backward-incompatible changes accumulate, and will lead to rotting of third-party code. -- Pauli Virtanen _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
