OK, great, thanks a lot On Wednesday 07 February 2007 23:05:46 Robert Kern wrote: > > Do we need a > > shortcut to __array_interface__['data'] as id number ? > > I'm not sure that would be useful.

So, in the first case, I can still compare the __array_interfaces__, right ? If they're equal, then the two arrays are strictly equivalent. In the second case, even if the arrays share some overlapping data, they're intrinsically different, so a test on whether the data has been copied/moved around would fail anyway. Well, thank y'all again. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
