#2117: inconsistent comparison of object type arrays

 Reporter:  yarikoptic  |       Owner:  somebody   
     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new        
 Priority:  normal      |   Milestone:  Unscheduled
Component:  Other       |     Version:  1.6.1

 This issue became more visible since 1.6.x allowed to construct such
 heterogeneous arrays without specification of dtype=object:


 {{{

 python -c 'import numpy as np; print np.__version__; a =
 np.array([np.array([0, 1]), np.array(1)]); print a.dtype; print a ==
 a.copy(); print a == np.array([np.array([0, 1]), np.array(1)])'
 1.7.0.dev-3cb783e
 object
 [ True  True]
 False

 }}}

 So -- comparing an object array to itself's copy worked just fine but
 comparison to identically created another one -- failed.
