Hello, due to fixed release cycles Ubuntu 8.04 still lacks the latest numpy 1.1. I succeeded backporting the package python-numpy from the upcoming release Intrepid 8.10 with the help of the automatic tool Prevu. Instructions can be found here: * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu * http://ubuntuforu

I'm writing the doc string for array_equal. From the existing one-line doc string I expect array_equal to return True or False. But I get this: >> np.array_equal([1,2], [1,2]) True >> np.array_equal([1,2], [1,2,3]) 0 >> np.array_equal(np.array([1,2]), np.array([1,2,3])) 0 >> np.__version_
