[Numpy-discussion] a.T

[Charles R Harris]

Hi all,

I'm curious about the error thrown when I use a.T as the left side of a
multiply assign. In the following, I am multiplying each the rows of 'a' by
the corresponding element of arange(n), i.e., broadcasting from the left.
The result looks fine, but an error is thrown after the operation is
complete.

In [62]: a = arange(12).reshape(3,2,2)

In [63]: a
Out[63]:
array([[[ 0,  1],
        [ 2,  3]],

       [[ 4,  5],
        [ 6,  7]],

       [[ 8,  9],
        [10, 11]]])

In [64]: a.T *= arange(3)

       [[16, 18],
        [20, 22]]])
