I think Robert Kern has the same intuition as me: that supporting float indices is pointless. So, can you give any *specific examples* of things you can do with float indices that would be difficult or more expensive using integer indices? That's probably the best way to convince people. -- Nathaniel _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
