The conversation started because array([True], dtype=bool) changed to array([True], dtype='bool') or something along those lines. A reasonable expectation is that eval(repr(x)) should produce x. An unreasonable expectation is to expect the repr string to remain exactly the same over versions (as doctest does). So, while there seems to be a simple solution in this case, I don't think the change was unreasonable or wrong.
