[Numpy-discussion] matrix vs. array

[Bill Baxter]

I thought this was just expected behavior.  Great.  Now I can get rid of all
those calls to squeeze().

Did it get logged as a bug in the first place, though, before it was fixed?
Still probably worth having it in the bug tracker, though.  And Travis, do
you mean it's fixed in CVS or fixed in 0.9.6?

Incidentally, you don't need to index a matrix with a matrix to see it,
indexing a matrix with a simple python list also returns the same shape.
So
     mm = m[numpy.matrix('[0 1]')]
can also be
     mm = m[[0,1]]
and the bug still happens in 0.9.5.  Don't know about 0.9.6 or CVS though.
