Hi, I have just submitted a longish issue on the github repo, #5721 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/5721>. After going in quite some detail over the flags attribute of ndarray's I have found several inconsistencies with the C API, and would like to make some changes. The details are in gh, but as a high level summary:
1. arr.flags.farray is almost certainly broken, and returns some useless result. I would like to make it behave like the C API's PyArray_ISFARRAY, even though that doesn't seem to be the intention of the original coder. 2. arr.flags.fortran is inconsitent with the C API's PyArray_ISFORTRAN. I think it should be modified to match it, but understand this may be too much of a backwards compatibility breach. 3. I would like for `arr.flags` to truly behave as a mutable property of `arr`. An explanation can be found on another thread's discussion with Benjamin Root earlier today. 4. I would like to match the Python and C version's of these as much as possible, and avoid future deviation, by actually using the C versions in the Python ones, even if this may introduce subtle behavior changes. Feedback is very welcome. Jaime -- (\__/) ( O.o) ( > <) Este es Conejo. Copia a Conejo en tu firma y ayúdale en sus planes de dominación mundial.
