The current behavior is very obscure and almost never the behavior that one desires. Indeed, the first time it came up, you seemed to think it was a bug earlier in the thread before (presumably) you went into the code and rediscovered the justification. I suspect that most people who have coded with this behavior in mind have coded to *avoid* the behavior and that their code will still work even after changing numpy. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
