In this case, I tend to agree that the behaviour is unexpected. In some cases, like with sort, however, I think the difference in behaviour is useful: In [1]: import numpy as N In [2]: x = N.array([3,2,1,2]) In [3]: N.sort(x) # Don't tell Guido! Out[3]: array([1, 2, 2, 3]) In [4]: x Out[4]: array([3, 2, 1, 2]) In [5]: x.sort() In [6]: x Out[6]: array([1, 2, 2, 3]) Cheers Stéfan _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
