[Numpy-discussion] indices with list arg?

[Magnus L. H. <ma...@he...>]

Why isn't indices([42]) (or foo.setshape([42]), for that matter)
allowed? Overzealous type checking, or a necessity of the C code?

Neither.   It  looks like a limitation of the indices function.   
Inserting "shape = tuple(shape)" into indices() removed the limitation.

Ah.

But it's still impossible to use foo.setshape([bar]), then, I guess,
even though it works with reshape()?
