[Numpy-discussion] one-offset arrays

[Tim Hochberg]

This is just a followup to my earlier message.

The getitem issues I identify there are fixed in Python 2.2, if you use new
style class (inherit from object). So, problems 1-3 can be fixed in Python
2.2. It seems that problem 4 could be fixed fairly easily in the python
layer by writing wrapper functions in Numeric.py. For example:

def cos(a):
   r = umath.cos(a)
   if isinstance(a, UserArray):
      r = a.__class__(r)
   return r

This would be potentially a bit tedious, but straightforward.
