Yes. In particular, array behavior is quite lovely and almost never surprising, so matrices should deviate from it only when there is an adequate payoff and, ideally, an easily stated principle. Thanks! Alan PS If you choose to implement such changes, I would find M[0,0] returning a 1×1 matrix to be more consistent, but to be clear, for me this is *very* much a secondary issue. Not even in the same ballpark. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
