Sebastian Berg added the comment: To be clear, the important part here, is that to me all elements *can* be accessed using that scheme. It is not correct to assume that `stride[-1]` or `stride[0]` is actually equal to `itemsize`.
In other words, you have to be able to pass the pointer to the start of a c-contiguous array into some C-library that knows nothing about strides without any further thinking. The 0-strides badly violate that. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22445> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
