On non-boolean arrays, .all() and .any() check each element to see if it is not equal to 0. NaN != 0. Returning False would be just as wrong. If there were a Maybe in addition to True and False, then perhaps that would be worth changing, but I don't see a reason to change the rule as it is. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
