In a separate message, since perhaps a little less looney: yet another option would be work by analogy with np.ix_ and define pre-dispatch index preparation routines np.ox_ and np.vx_ (say), which would be used as in: ``` array[np.ox_[:, 10]] -- or -- array[np.vx_[:, 10]] ``` This could work if those functions each return something appropriate for the legacy indexer, or, if that is not possible, a specific subclass of tuple as a marker that gets interpreted further up.
In the end, though, probably also too complicated. It may remain best to simply implement the new methods instead and keep it at that! -- Marten _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org https://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
