I would like to further push Benjamin Root's suggestion:"Therefore, I think it is not out of the realm of reason that passing a generator object and a dtype could then delegate the work under the hood to np.fromiter()? I would even go so far as to raise an error if one passes a generator without specifying dtype to np.array(). The point is to reduce the number of entry points for creating numpy arrays."would this be ok?On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 6:50 PM Robert Kern <robert.kern@gmail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 5:41 PM, Benjamin Root <ben.v.root@gmail.com> wrote:
