True, but: 1) Having special-cases for the most common cases is not such a bad idea. 2) could one use some sort of templating approach to get all the dtypes and such that you want? 3) as for number of dimensions, I don't think to would be to hard to generalize that -- at least for contiguous arrays. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
