#1005: numpy not working with itertools.chain objects

 Priority:  normal      |   Milestone:  1.3.0

 numpy.array(), numpy.sum(), etc. don't seem to work with itertools.chain
 objects.

 e.g.:

 from itertools import chain

 iter = chain(xrange(5))

 array(iter)

 returns array(<itertools.chain object at 0x0172C828>, dtype=object).
 list(iter) would work as expected, returning [0, 1, 2, 3, 4].

 However if I define my own chain() function then array(iter) works fine.

 Python v2.5.4 and numpy v1.2.1
