[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] Nested list representation of an array

[Konrad Hinsen]

Does anyone know an efficient way to obtain a nested list
representation of an array? list() will handle only the first
axis. The best I can come up with is a recursive definition:

def nested_list(a):
  if len(a.shape) < 2:
    return list(a)
  else:
    return map(nested_list, a)

I don't want to know how long this takes for a large rank-10 array...

Konrad.
