[Numpy-discussion] can't resize ndarray subclass

[Zachary Pincus]

Thanks Travis for the replies and the new functionality in the SVN!

I think I have enough (well, maybe once I figure out  
__array_priority__) to get a decent wiki entry for subclassing  
ndarray, and maybe some template subclasses that others can use.

I presume __array_priority__ determines the resulting type when two  
different type arrays are ufunc'd together? The exact mechanism of  
which object gets selected as the parent, etc., is still unclear though.
