I guess I'm slow

It only affects this case, as long as we don't have  __round__ in arrays

round(np.float64(2e200))
2e+200

round(np.array([1, 2.5, 2e20, 2e200]))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-177-bd4a17555729> in <module>
----> 1 round(np.array([1, 2.5, 2e20, 2e200]))

TypeError: type numpy.ndarray doesn't define __round__ method
