[Numpy-discussion] Non-writeable default for numpy.ndarray

[Francesc A. <fa...@ca...>]

Hello,

Is the next a bug a feature?

In [102]: f4=3Dnumpy.ndarray(buffer=3D"a\x00b"*4, dtype=3D"f4", shape=3D3)

In [103]: f4
Out[103]: array([  2.60561966e+20,   8.94319890e-39,   5.92050103e+20],=20
dtype=3Dfloat32)

In [104]: f4[2] =3D 2
=2D------------------------------------------------------------------------=
=2D-
<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>          Traceback (most recent call last)

/home/faltet/python.nobackup/numpy/<ipython console> in <module>()

<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>: array is not writeable

In [105]: f4.flags.writeable =3D True

In [106]: f4[2] =3D 2

In [107]: f4
Out[107]: array([  2.60561966e+20,   8.94319890e-39,   2.00000000e+00],=20
dtype=3Dfloat32)


i.e. in an array built from ndarray, the default is that it has to be=20
read-only?
