Re: [Numpy-discussion] packbits / unpackbits bugs or misfeatures?

it would kind of make more sense, at least to me, for unpackbits to return a boolean array, and packbits to take boolean arrays. I could try to look into fixing the code instead of the docs, if others agree.
I agree with this. (Better late than never?) More relevant at this point: it seems very odd that `packbits` does not *accept* a boolean array, even if it does not insist upon one. Might this be considered a bug? Cheers, Alan Isaac

Both packbits and unpack bits are being refactored at this very moment, you might want to comment there <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/5319>. Chuck
