Going through np.mat also fails on the meta-goal, which is to remove reasons for people to prefer np.matrix to np.ndarray, so that eventually we can deprecate the former without harm.
As far as this goal goes, it's all very well for some of us to say that users should toughen up or whatever, but it's useless: they'll just ignore you and use np.mat because it's easier. And then we have even more of a mess to clean up later.
so maybe don't do anything new, and np.mat can produce an array at some point in the future when np.matrix is deprecated.... -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (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
