FWIF, when q is list this doesn't make sense:
In []: [q< 3, 3<= 3]
Out[]: [False, True]
but with array it makes sense:
In []: q= array(q)
In []: [q< 3, 3<= 3]
Out[]: [array([ True,  True, False, False, False, False], dtype=bool), True]

IMO, np.piecewise() should just work with arrays as documented.


My 2 cents,
