The numpy equivalent to Python's scalar "==" is called array_equal,
and that does indeed behave the same:

In [5]: np.array_equal([3, 4], [2, 3, 4])
Out[5]: False

But in numpy, the name "==" is shorthand for the ufunc np.equal, which
raises an error:

In [8]: np.equal([3, 4], [2, 3, 4])
ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes (2) (3)
