Any change to the behavior of x[0] for matrices is going to break a lot of code. It actually seems like a good idea to me to make it an error for a while -- or maybe some kind of settable option -- to help people figure out where they need to fix their code. Better to get an error immediately. --bb _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
