hello,
sorry newbe to numpy.
I want to define a three-dim array. I know this works:
np.array([[[1,2],[3,4]],[[5,6],[7,8]]])
array([[[1, 2], [3, 4]],
[[5, 6], [7, 8]]])
But can you tell why this doesnt work?
np.array([[1,2],[[1,2],[3,4]]])
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.
Thank you.
I believe numpy arrays must be rectangular, yours is jagged, instead try
x3d = np.array([[[1, 2], [1, 2], [3, 4]]]) x3d.shape
(1, 3, 2)
Note: 3 opening brackets, yours has 2 And single brackets around the 3 innermost arrays, yours has single brackets for the 1st, and double brackets around the 2nd and 3rd

In the latest version of numpy, this runs without an error, although may or may not be what you want:
In [1]: np.array([[1,2],[[1,2],[3,4]]]) Out[1]: array([[1, 2], [list([1, 2]), list([3, 4])]], dtype=object)
Here the result is a 2x2 array, where some elements are numbers and others are lists.

Ewww, kinda wish that would be an error... It would be too easy for a typo to get accepted this way.

Specify the dtype explicitly: `dtype=int` or so, then NumPy will refuse to create a ragged array.
There has been occasional discussion of `dtype='not-object'`, but I don't think it resulted in an issue or PR.

The rationale for the change allowing that construction was twofold: it's easier to understand what has gone wrong when seeing the `list`s in the repr than it was from the cryptic error message; and there were some jagged cases that already succeeded in this way, and it was less confusing to be consistent.
I agree that the behavior is not terribly useful, and object arrays constructed containing lists are quite possibly something we should warn about.

There is a long-standing request to require an explicit opt-in for dtype=object: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/5353
