Nope, as it breaks consistency: depending on some input parameters, you either get an array or a list. I think it's better to leave it as it is, maybe adding an extra line in the doc precising that unpack=True doesn't do anything for structured arrays. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
