To get a view, you will need to:
v = a[0:1] # view of element 0 in a Also you cannot assign to v[0], as that would trigger a copy as well. > v[1] = b[0] > v[2] = c[0] As I mentioned in the answer to Anne, it would take a completely different array object. It would need to internally store an array with memory addresses. I have not made up my mind if ndarray can be subclassed for this, or if it takes a completely different object (e.g. similar to numpy.memmap). What it would require is __setitem__ to store pointers and __getitem__ to dereference (return an ndarray with values). Good look hacking, it is not even difficult, just tedious.
