Of course Peter Pearson's hint applies to my answer. The above function 
doesn't exist, it should be numpy.linalg.matrix_rank()

>>> numpy.linalg.matrix_rank([[1,0,0], [0,1,0], [0,0,1]])
3

which should not be confused with numpy.rank() that just returns the number 
of dimensions:

>>> numpy.rank([[1,0,0], [0,1,0], [0,0,1]])
2
>>> numpy.rank([[[[[[]]]]]])
6
