"Proposal to accept NEP 34: Disallow inferring dtype=object from sequence

I propose to move the NEP https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0034.html from "draft" to "accepted" status. There were no objections (actually there were no responses at all) to the mail proposing the NEP https://mail.python.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2019-October/080200.html. PR 14794 https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14794 is an implementation of the first step, deprecating current automatic detection, f there are no substantive objections within 7 days from this email, then the NEP will be accepted; see NEP 0 for more details. Matti

For what it’s worth, I support this NEP. I have indeed seen this mistake often when teaching NumPy.

I also support this. Small price in edge case usability for a lot less shooting yourself in the foot On Sun, Nov 17, 2019 at 11:29 PM Juan Nunez-Iglesias <jni@fastmail.com> wrote:
