I logged this as a bug and I'll get to it as soon as I'm out of "numarray overhead reduction mode." Thanks! Todd Francesc Alted wrote:

Hi,

I've found that numarray.array doesn't check enough the input for non-regular objects. For example:

In [95]: numarray.array([3., [4, 5.2]]) Out[95]: array([ 3. , 5.7096262])

but,

In [96]: Numeric.array([3., [4, 5.2]]) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)

?

TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation

I find Numeric behaviour more appropriate.
