Numpy is more C than Python in this case, I don't know that C has anything to do with it -- the *= operators were added specifically to be "in-place" operators -- otherwise they would be nothing but syntactic sugar. And IIRC, numpy was one of the motivators. IMHO, the mistake was even allowing += and friends for immutables, as that inherently means something different. Of course, using += with integers is probably the most common case. -Chris _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
