Over in the NumPy stubs there's an issue
https://github.com/numpy/numpy-stubs/issues/41
which points out that you can in fact do something like
``` np.float32([1.0, 0.0, 0.0]) ```
to construct an ndarray of float32. It seems to me that though you can do that, it is not a best practice, and one should instead do
``` np.array([1.0, 0.0, 0.0], dtype=np.float32) ```
Do people agree with that assessment of what the best practice is? If so, it seems to make the most sense to continue banning constructs like `np.float32([1.0, 0.0, 0.0])` in the type stubs (as they should promote making easy-to-understand, scalable NumPy code).
+1 for banning that construct, that's really ugly Cheers, Ralf
