If you iterate over the rows of the matrix, it feels natural to me to get the row vectors -- and as you know a 1d-array does not contain the information of "row-ness", so you need to get a 2d thing to properly return those "contained objects". So in my view the current behavior actually does exactly what you're calling for. (But I admit I'm a 2d fan so much so that I didn't even know that using a single index is possible with a matrix. I thought one always had to be explicit about both dimensions... So thanks for pointing this out. -- BTW, I'm aware that sticking to numpy-matrices exclusively is not possible. For example, eigenvalues are returned in a 1d-array even if you pass a matrix, and it's intended behavior.) cheers, sven _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
