Comment (by joris):

 Proposed code:

 def median(a, axis=0):

     sorted = array(a, subok=True, copy=True).swapaxes(0,axis)

     sorted.sort(axis=0)

     index = int(sorted.shape[0]/2)

     if sorted.shape[0] % 2 == 1:
         return sorted[index]
     else:
         return (sorted[index-1]+sorted[index])/2.0
