I can see how the difference between a[0,1] a[[0,1]] is not obvious at first, especially if you come from octave/matlab. The first example has an obvious i and j. But the second example doesn't. So I tried to point out that i=[0,1] and j=:. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
