[Numpy-discussion] Question on numpy.ma.masked_values

[Pierre GM]

Ciao Gökhan,
AFAIR, shrink is used only to force a collapse of a mask full of False, not
to force the creation of such a mask.
Now, it should work as you expected, meaning that it needs to be fixed.
Could you open a ticket? And put me in copy, just in case.
Anyhow:
Your trick is a tad dangerous, as it erases the previous mask. I'd prefer
to create x w/ a full mask, then use masked_values w/ shrink=False... Now,
if you're sure there's no masked values, go for it.
Cheers
