Thanks,

should this maybe also be added somewhere in the numpy module itself !?
I guess the question is, what the original intent was for numarray to put it 
in (only for debugging ?) -- then we could decide if this would also make 
sense for numpy.

I have never used numpy.info(obj) - I don't know what is does (compared to 
__doc__)   but maybe it could be extended like
if isinstance( obj , N.ndarray):
    print  N.numarray.info( obj )

right now it prints nothings (and returns None)
