I agree that this behavior is wrong. A related oddity is this:
In [24]: a = np.arange(6).reshape(2,3)
In [25]: a = np.ma.array(a, mask=np.ma.getmaskarray(a), shrink=False)
In [27]: a.sharedmask
True
In [28]: a.unshare_mask()
In [30]: b = a[1:2, 1:2]
In [31]: b[:] = np.ma.masked
In [32]: b.sharedmask
False
In [33]: a
masked_array(data =
[[0 1 2]
[3 -- 5]],
mask =
[[False False False]
[False True False]],
fill_value = 999999)
It looks like the sharedmask property simply is not being set and
interpreted correctly--a freshly initialized array has sharedmask True;
and after setting it to False, changing the mask of a new view *does*
change the mask in the original.
