[Numpy-discussion] A reimplementation of MaskedArray

[Michael Sorich]

While playing with the new implementation I noticed that the nonzero
method did not seem to work properly. I was not able to trace down why
this is the case - I could not find where the nonzero method of the
new maskedarray is actually implemented :)

import maskedarray as ma
test_ma1 = ma.array([True, False, False], mask=[0,0,1])
print test_ma1
print test_ma1.nonzero()[0]
print ma.nonzero(test_ma1)[0]

--output--
[True False --]
[True False --]
[0]
