ah yes, that's also an issue I was trying to deal with. the semantics I prefer in these type of operators, is (as a default), to have every array be treated as a sequence of keys, so if calling unique(arr_2d), youd get unique rows, unless you pass axis=None, in which case the array is flattened.
I also agree that the extension you propose here is useful; but ideally, with a little more discussion on these subjects we can converge on an even more comprehensive overhaul On Tue, Aug 12, 2014 at 6:33 PM, Joe Kington <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On Tue, Aug 12, 2014 at 11:17 AM, Eelco Hoogendoorn < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Thanks.
