Mmh. My understanding is that .reshape() creates a *view* of the original
array, so no data is actually copied. The only thing that changes is how the
data is read. That means that modifying the reshaped version will modify the
original.
So:
>>>import numpy as N
>>>a=N.zeros((3,2))
array([[ 0., 0., 0.],
[ 0., 0., 0.]])
>>>b=a.reshape(6,)
>>>b
array([ 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.])
>>>b += 1
>>>b
array([ 1., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1.])
>>>a
array([[ 1., 1.],
[ 1., 1.],
[ 1., 1.]])
