[Numpy-discussion] A couple more Numeric incompatibilitiesand apossible bug

[Gary Ruben]

Thanks for pointing this out Alexander,
I admit that I hadn't tried any native Python container types to see how they behave. I was basing my comments on
Numeric's behaviour. When I have time, maybe I should raise a question on the Python developer's list. It seems like something that may have been overlooked.

regards,
Gary
