[Numpy-discussion] Numeric/numpy difference

[Jens J. M. <je...@fy...>]

I just discovered (the hard way) that:

 >>> import numpy
 >>> a =3D numpy.empty((2, 3))
 >>> a[:] =3D [1, 2]
 >>> a
array([[1, 2, 1],
        [2, 1, 2]])

This is with revision 1984.  With Numeric I get "ValueError: matrices=20
are not aligned for copy", which I think is the correct answer.
