Every time we fix a bug, we add a corresponding test to make sure that it doesn't pop up again. In this case, take a look in numpy/core/tests/test_regression.py: def check_random_shuffle(self, level=rlevel): """Ticket #374""" a = N.arange(5).reshape((5,1)) b = a.copy() N.random.shuffle(b) assert_equal(sorted(b),a) Cheers Stéfan _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
