So it is needed to maintain backward compatibility? (Still?) In that case, would you agree that it is a bug for assert_array_almost_equal to use repr() to display the arrays, since it is printing identical values and saying they are different? Or is there also a reason to do that? _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
