Oh. My mistake. I thought I had an array of 2 objects which were ints. I
actually had an array of one list of 2 ints. It works properly if I
construct the array properly.
In [14]: a = numpy.empty((2), dtype=object)
In [15]: a[0:]=[2,3]
In [16]: a
Out[16]: array([2, 3], dtype=object)
In [17]: a.shape
Out[17]: (2,)
In [18]: a[0]
Out[18]: 2
In [19]: a[1]
Out[19]: 3
In [20]: numpy.argmax(a)
Out[20]: 1
