[Numpy-discussion] array of arbitrary objects

[Ryan Krauss]

Is it possible with numpy to create arrays of arbitrary objects?
Specifically, I have defined a symbolic string class with operator
overloading for most simple math operations: 'a'*'b' ==> 'a*b'

Can I create two matrices of these symbolic string objects and
multiply those matrices together?

(simply doing array([[a,b],[c,d]]) did not work.  the symbolic strings
got cast to regular strings)

Thanks,

Ryan
