shurely it's possible to assign each array an hashval. this can be
done by converting an array to a tuple (or a tuple of tuples in the
2d case). but: how can i expand numpy, such that a hashval is
considered.
i tried 

     Numeric.array.__hash__ = lambda x: hash(tuple(x))

but i get

"object has readonly attributes"....

greetings, uwe.
