[Numpy-discussion] Adding an ndarray.dot method

Here is a related ticket that proposes a more explicit alternative: adding a ``dot`` method to ndarray. http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1456

I kind of like this idea. Simple, obvious, and leads to clear code: a.dot(b).dot(c) or in another multiplication order, a.dot(b.dot(c)) And here's an implementation: http://github.com/pv/numpy-work/commit/414429ce0bb0c4b7e780c4078c5ff71c11305... I think I'm going to apply this, unless someone complains, as I don't see any downsides (except maybe adding one more to the huge list of methods ndarray already has). Cheers, Pauli
