Only that no-one has implemented it, I guess. If you want to then that'd be cool :-). To be generally useful for debugging, it would probably be good for the error message to also mention which dimension is involved, and/or the actual size of the array in that dimension. You can also get such error messages from expressions like 'arr[i, j, k]', after all, where it's even less obvious what went wrong. -- Nathaniel _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
