Maybe I misunderstand the proposal, but, actually, I think this is completely the wrong semantics for "axis=" anyway. "axis=" in numpy refers to what is also a dimension, not a column. More generally, then, would we restrict this to labeling only the column dimension, or could it be used for any dimension? _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
