You make a good point. This is not a very safe sanity check and overly complicated for not providing safety. I've reverted it back but left in the convention that the 'desc' pointer contain a reference to the object exposing the interface as is the practice now. Thanks for the review. -Travis _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/numpy-discussion
