[Numpy-discussion] A bug in boolean indexing?

[Nadav Horesh]

I was not aware that

a[b] = c

where b is an integer or boolean indexing array, is legal even if

a[b].shape != c.shape.

This has nothing to do with reusing ``a``::

         >>> b = np.arange(50)
         >>> a[a>0] = b
         >>> a
         array([0, 0, 1, 2, 3])

Note however that reusing ``a`` is "unsafe".
(You will get all zeros.)

fwiw,
Alan Isaac
