Hi, Jim, Just wondering why you would use item() rather than index in brackets, i.e. a[i] ? The latter works well in numpy. But maybe I'm missing something. -- Lou Pecora --- Jim Kleckner <jek-cygwin2@kleckner.net> wrote:
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?
Any reason that item() can't 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.
I work with lists rather than the implicit tuples of a function call because then I can work with arbitrary dimensions.
In the meantime, I guess I can just convert the list to an otherwise unnecessary tuple.
