WeIl, I do not see the confusion here (only due to the use of the array function, maybe). It is a string, after all, so it should be colour-coded as such.
I would love to keep this feaure of np.mat in somehow, named np.txt2arr or something. We, linear algebraists, will already lose the .I method for matrix inversion, the * for matrix multiplication, let’s keep at least one of the many handy features of the matrix-type in. It is simply a very useful, short-hand way, probably a separate function, to make a 2D-array. If you think it’s ugly, don’t use it. But it certainly is faster to type it and former Matlab-users will love it as well. Just my 2 cts.
