[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] Newbie: transpose

[Carlos Maltzahn]

Excuse me if the following has been discussed extensively (if so, could
somebody point me to the relevant archive messages?): To me
transpose() seems to act counter-intuitive:

Doing:

>>> b
array([3, 4, 5])
>>> transpose(b)
array([3, 4, 5])
>>>

I expected:

>>> transpose(b)
array([[3],
       [4],
       [5]])
>>>

Doing:

b = b[:,NewAxis]
>>> b
array([[3],
       [4],
       [5]])
>>> c = transpose(b)
>>> c
array([       [3, 4, 5]])
>>> c.shape
(1, 3)
>>>

I expected:

>>> c = transpose(b)
>>> c
array([3, 4, 5])
>>> c.shape
(3,)
>>>

???

Thanks,
Carlos
