Hi All,

It seems that repr applied do an object array does not provide the info needed to recreate it:

In [22]: y = array([Decimal(1)]*2)

In [23]: repr(y) Out[23]: 'array([1, 1], dtype=object)'

And of course, there is going to be a problem with arrays of more than one dimension anyway. But I wonder if this should be fixed?

Using repr() instead of str() for the items would probably be wise. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
