[Numpy-discussion] On responding to dubious ideas (was: Re: Advanced indexing: "fancy" vs. orthogonal)

[Alan G Isaac]

1. I use numpy in teaching.
I have never heard a complaint about its indexing behavior.
Have you heard such complaints?

2. One reason I use numpy in teaching is its indexing behavior.
What specific language provides a better indexing model,
in your opinion?

3. I admit, my students are NOT using non-boolen fancy indexing on
multidimensional arrays. (As far as I know.)  Are yours?

Cheers,
Alan
