I am looking for feedback on the PEP. Of particular interest is the specification of multidimensional indexing that I've outlined. I think it is mostly the same as numarray (I'd love some feedback to be sure about that), except for the fact that X[K] where K is a a single integer index array can do 1-d indexing similar to MATLAB. The equivalent numarray indexing is available as X[K,]. Now that I've specified what is to happen, I think it won't be very difficult to code.
Sorry if I'm a bit quick to respond here (haven't read the PEP yet; I seem to have lost the URL) but ... is this related to the following issue (which I struggled with for a while back in 2002)? http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=2700193 IMO, special-casing (if that's what you're proposing) is a Bad Think(tm), as general code will then have to add special-casing to avoid tripping over it... (But I may just be confused here :) - M -- Magnus Lie Hetland Fallen flower I see / Returning to its branch http://hetland.org Ah! a butterfly. [Arakida Moritake]
