Well, asanyarray is not always a panacea, and can lead to problems with other subclasses of ndarray. I'd think twice before bluntly adapting a function to use np.asanyarray... Better explicit than implicit. A relatively simple way to take care of the issue is to improve the documentation, for example by adding a note pointing ti the corresponding np.ma function. > I wonder if the functions were originally intended to work with masked > arrays, but at some point, some inner part of the algorithm became > 'ma-unfriendly'... I don't think so. Anyway, as usual, please open a ticket when you run into a problem with masked arrays and I'll try to take care of it ASAP. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
