#1563: setitem in subclass of ndarray not working for 1D arrays

     Type:  defect            |      Status:  new        
 Priority:  normal            |   Milestone:  Unscheduled
Component:  Other             |     Version:  none       
 Keywords:  setitem subclass  |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 For a subclass of ndarray the setitem method is not working with tuples,
 but only if the array is 1D.
 {{{
 from numpy import ndarray
 class C(ndarray):
     def __new__(cls,i):
         return N.ones((i,)).view(cls)

 a = C(5)
 a[(0,)] = 2.
 # raises: RuntimeError: Getitem not returning array.
 # this would work if 'a' is a normal ndarray

 # note: 'a[0] = 2.' is working
 # 'b = a[(0,)]' is working
 # and if the subclass is an ndarray of higher dimension then
 # also e.g. (for 2D array subclass) 'a[(0,1)] = 2.' is working
 }}}
