Hi Sebastian. I don't have an opinion (yet) about this matter, but I have a question:

Why do you call this "unnecessary container modification"? I've used this idiom in the past for exactly those cases where I wanted to make sure no copy is made. And if we are not supposed to assign to arr.shape, why is it allowed in the first place? cheers, Matthias _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
