[Numpy-discussion] shape is (3,4) or (3L,4L) ?

[Mark Bakker]

Now that you mention it, (3L,4L) probably indeed occurs on Windows 64 bit
installations.
Not sure about Mac 64 bit. I haven't tried that.

So, is it desirable that the 32bit returns different integers than the
64bit? I would guess not.

Thanks,

Mark



Are they all using the same platform ? I suspect you're seeing the (3L, 4L)
