The meaning of np.array('abc') is a bit baffling to someone with no experience in numpy. It doesn't seem to be a one-dimensional array containing 'abc', as your next statement suggests. It seem to be a zero-dimensional array? > Maybe a starting point for transition that latter operation also returns > ['abc'] in the long run Just to be clear, are you proposing a generalized list(obj: non-iterable) constructor that returns [obj]? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
