Just ran into this. Any objections for having numpy.std and other functions in core/fromnumeric.py call asanyarray before trying to use the array's method? Other data structures like pandas and larry define their own std method, for instance, and this doesn't allow them to pass through. I'm inclined to say that the issue is with numpy, though maybe the data structures shouldn't shadow numpy array methods while altering the signature. I dunno.
df = pandas.DataFrame(np.random.random((10,5))) np.std(df,axis=0) <snip> TypeError: std() got an unexpected keyword argument 'dtype' np.std(np.asanyarray(df),axis=0) array([ 0.30883352, 0.3133324 , 0.26517361, 0.26389029, 0.20022444]) Though I don't think this would work with larry yet.
