Now that Python has a bool type, I have received a patch for numarray's arrayprint module which alters the formatting of Boolean arrays from:
a=numarray.arange(6, type=numarray.Bool); a[::2] = 0; a
array([0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1], type=Bool)
to:
a=numarray.arange(6, type=numarray.Bool); a[::2] = 0; a
array([False, True, False, True, False, True], type=Bool)
Which format do you prefer? Please vote for or against changing the format: +1 (for) or -1 (against).
-1
If I'm using those kinds of values in arrays, I'm more likely to be thinking in terms of 1's and 0's not True's and False's anyways.
E.g.
frequency = float(sum(a)) / len(a)
