While automating some unit tests for my labeled array class, larry, I assumed that
np.array([1, 2], dtype=dtype) would give the same result as np.array([1, 2]).astype(dtype) But it doesn't for dtype=None: >> np.array([1, 2, 3], dtype=None) array([1, 2, 3]) >> np.array([1, 2, 3]).astype(None) array([ 1., 2., 3.]) I prefer the behavior of array where dtype=None is a no-op. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
