Hi, I really tried to do my homework before asking this here, but I just couldn't find the relevant information anywhere... My question is about the rationale behind forbidding indexing with floats, i.e.:
x[2.] __main__:1: VisibleDeprecationWarning: using a non-integer number instead of an integer will result in an error in the future
I don't find this very handy from a user's perspective, and I'd be grateful for pointers on discussion threads and/or PRs where this has been discussed, so that I can understand why it's important. Maybe a short note on the indexing docpage (http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.11.0/user/basics.indexing.html) could be useful also. Thanks a lot! Fabien
