Yes, that is the idea behind this, which I am also
accustomed to from GAUSS. But note again that the Matlab
equivalent ::
>>> x=N.mat('1 2;3 4')
>>> x[0,:]
matrix([[1, 2]])
does provide this behavior. The question I am raising
is a design question and is I think really not addressed
by the rule of thumb you offer. Specifically, that rule
of thumb if it is indeed the justification of ::
>>> x[1]
matrix([[3, 4]])
finds itself in basic conflict with the idea that I ought to
be able to iterate over the objects in an iterable container.
I mean really, does this not "feel" wrong? ::
>>> for item in x: print item.__repr__()
...
matrix([[1, 2]])
matrix([[3, 4]])
