Alternatively, as a hackjob type check you could also do an
"isinstance" check on the first element of the array since, unlike
lists, arrays have uniform elements all the way
Use a week functions are basically function that you use for a short
period of time where a full fledged well designed program is more of a
waste of time than anything else. Other then that, for what you miss

Actually, all the points in this thread have been very good points but
I just want to add my 2 cents since I was in your boat just a month

In short, I decided to look elsewhere as I was dealing with vector
