I'm afraid that I really don't understand what you're trying to say. Is
there something that you think numpy should be doing differently?
I liked it better when this raised an exception, instead of creating a
rectangular object array.
Did it really used to raise an exception? Patches accepted :-) (#5303 is the relevant bug, like Warren points out. From the discussion there it doesn't look like np.array's handling of non-conformable lists has any defenders.)
Since I'm usually late in updating numpy, I was for a long time very familiar with the frequent occurence of `ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.` based on this, it was up to numpy 1.5 https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/2631#issuecomment-20898809 "ugly but backwards compatible" :) Josef
