This can easily be done:
*** Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32. ***
>>> import numpy as _n
>>> A= _n.mat([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> A[1]
matrix([[3, 4]])
>>> A[1].getA1()
array([3, 4])
An array and a matrix are different animals. Conversion from one to the
other should be spelled out.
As you have done below.
