I'm fighting conversion from Numeric to numpy.
One change that doesn't seem documented is that I used to be able to select items using lists and now it seems that I have to convert them to tuples. Is that correct and is there a function buried in there that will accept a list for indices?
The problem is that with the introduction of arbitrary indexing (indirect indexing), lists are treated as sequences of indices instead of index numbers. There is a bit of logic inserted for backward compatibility, but it isn't perfect. What is the code that you are having trouble with?
Any reason that item() can't take a list?
Not that I can think of. It could probably be updated to take a list.
The weird thing is that it doesn't blow up right away when a list is passed in an array ref but rather returns something I don't expect.
Right, this is the indirect referencing feature that NumPy now supports. -Travis
