Mailman 3 __eq__ with str and object - NumPy-Discussion

25 May 2010


      I don't understand this:
...
...
a1 = np.array(['a', 'b'], dtype=object)
a2 = np.array(['a', 'b'])
a1 == a2
   array([ True,  True], dtype=bool)  # Looks good
a2 == a1
   False  # Should I have expected this?
This works like I expected:
...
...
a1 = np.array([1, 2], dtype=object)
a2 = np.array([1, 2])
a1 == a2
   array([ True,  True], dtype=bool)
a2 == a1
   array([ True,  True], dtype=bool)
