I don't really like flat (it is a pretty old part of numpy), but I agree, while you can force nditer to be C-contiguous, nditer has its own problems and is also pretty complex. I would argue that nditer it is a "you know what you are doing" type of function... Or of course if you want to understand the C-Api. Unless you keep in mind how buffers are copied around inside it, using half its features is dangerous. - Sebastian > Alan > > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org > http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion >
