OK, I see your point. I'm working on a patch that does the following:
def view(type_or_dtype=None, dtype=None, type=None):
if type_or_dtype:
if dtype:
raise ValueError("Cannot specify dtype twice")
if type:
raise ValueError("Cannot specify type twice")
if isinstance(type_or_dtype,py_type):
type = type_or_dtype
if isinstance(type_or_dtype,numpy_dtype):
dtype = type_or_dtype
return x.view(type=type).view(dtype=dtype)
Would that be a satisfying solution? I'll be back around 21:00 SAST
to attend to the matter.
