So that I could have a field named 'shape', and modifying r.shape would change the shape of the array, not the content of the field ? That makes sense, but isn't it a bit dangerous ? Shouldn't we have a list of reserved keywords (dtype, shape...) that would raise an exception if used as field names ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
