[Numpy-discussion] array flags not copied/deepcopied

[Byron Blay]

Copying / deepcopying an array does not copy the writeable flag:

>>> import numpy
>>> from copy import deepcopy
>>> a = numpy.array([1,2,3,4,5])
>>> a.flags.writeable = False
>>> b = deepcopy(a)
>>> b.flags.writeable
True

Is this a bug?
Should I raise an issue on github?

Many thanks,
Byron
