Comment (by rkern):

 It may be confusing. A user might expect that the iterator {{{itr}}} in
 the following:

 {{{
 a = fromiter(itr, mydtype, shape=(m, n))
 }}}

 should yield {{{m}}} sequences of length {{{n}}} each.

 What you want is easily (and unambiguously) achievable with

 {{{
 a = fromiter(itr, mydtype).reshape((m, n))
 }}}
