Ricky, I'd love new dunders too but it would explode in complexity. The likelihood of being approved is pretty much non-existent as far as I understand. If you want, we can write together a competing PEP with that solution, so that the Steering Council can have two ideas. I would not mind exploring that option a bit more, but it's likely to become an exercise. On Fri, 25 Sep 2020 at 22:06, Ricky Teachey <ricky@teachey.org> wrote:

I'd like to hear more about why the empty tuple has been selected as the default index.
It's still not settled. Steven proposed None, I propose empty tuple for affinity with *args behavior, others proposed no positional arg at all, but then there's the problem of the setter. I sent a mail to the numpy mailing list yesterday, and all people who replied seemed to prefer empty tuple.
Here is the thread

All of that could be solved with new dunders.
