[Numpy-discussion] Zeroing an existing array

What is the official way to zero out an array in numarray/Numeric?

While I can create a new array of all zeros and then assign it to the old variable, this is extremely wasteful of memory.

Currently, I am just using:

...

...

import numarray a = numarray.arange(6) a

array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

...

...

a[:] = 0.0 a

array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])

I looked through the manual for a function or array mathod which would accomplish the same thing, but I didn't find an obvious one. Did I miss something obvious?
