[Numpy-discussion] Bitten

[Rob W. W. Hooft]

I have to admit that today I have been bitten by NumPy's copy/pointer
and 0-order array inconsistency a bit. Easy enough to fix, but
a nice catch for somebody new to NumPy:

try:

   a=Numeric.array([1,2,3])
   a[0],a[1]=a[1],a[0]
   print a

vs:

   a=Numeric.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]])
   a[0],a[1]=a[1],a[0]
   print a

Regards,

Rob Hooft.
