It seems that numarray implementation for the array protocol in string arrays is very slow for dimensionality > 10:
OK, I'll bite -- what in the world do you need an array of strings with dimensionality > 10 for ? Which brings up another curiosity: I'm all in favor of not having arbitrary limits on anything, but I'm curious what the largest rank NumPy array anyone has ever had a real use for is? I don't think I've ever used rank > 3, or maybe 4. Anyone have a use case for a very large rank array? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
