Nick Coghlan added the comment:
Nathaniel Smith pointed out on python-dev
(https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2015-May/140006.html) that NumPy
is relying on this bug to implement elementwise multiplication of a list by a
scalar array:
In [9]: [1, 2] * np.array(2)
Out[9]: array([2, 4])
He also pointed out that PyPy implemented bug-for-bug compatibility with this
some time back:
