Thanks Rob,
I agree. Your suggestion is the better way. Colin W. On 19/07/2013 11:09 AM, [email protected] wrote: 1. Today's Topics: 1.

One cannot have "arrays of Python," nor are Numpy objects a subset of "Python" (because Python is not a set) -- both of which are what your sentence technically states. I.e., the commas are in the wrong place. You could say "The exception: one can have arrays of python objects (including those from numpy) thereby allowing for arrays of different sized elements." but I think it is even clear to just unpack this a bit more with "The exception: one can have arrays of python objects, including numpy objects, which allows arrays to contain different sized elements." In my experience, attempting to be extremely concise in technical writing is a common cause of awkward grammar problems like this. I do it all the time :) -Rob On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 9:18 AM, Colin J.

This is to offer a Guide correction - I couldn't figure out how to offer the correction on-line.What is Numpy? Suggest: "The exception: one can have arrays of (Python, including NumPy) objects, thereby allowing for arrays of different sized elements." to: The exception: one can have arrays of Python, including NumPy objects, thereby allowing for arrays of different sized elements.
