 {{{
 #usually, automatic type conversion in python works like this
 a = 2
 a /= 3.0
 #a = 0.66666, type(a) is float

 #in numpy an analogous conversion fails
 a = numpy.arange(4)
 #a is array([0, 1, 2, 3])
 a /= 2.1
 #a is array([0, 0, 0, 1]) <- bug
 #a stays an int array, that's inconsistant with the type conversion shown
 above
 #shall be like the following instead
 a = a/2.1 #works
 #array([ 0.        ,  0.47619048,  0.95238095,  1.42857143])
