[Numpy-discussion] transpose of a matrix should be another matrix

[Chris Colbert]

you actually have to call the method as transpose(). What you requested was
the actual method.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np. matrix([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]])
>>> a
matrix([[1, 2, 3],
        [4, 5, 6],
        [7, 8, 9]])
>>> b = a.transpose()
>>> b
matrix([[1, 4, 7],
        [2, 5, 8],
        [3, 6, 9]])
>>>
