[pypy-issue] [issue989] Can't do ** on individual numpypy array element

[mikefc]

New submission from mikefc <coolbutuseless at gmail.com>:

If a=numpy.array([1,2,3])  then a[1]**2 fails with a TypeError: operands do not 
support **

After looking at objspace/descroperation.py I figured that a[1]**np.array(2) works 
because the objects are of the same time.  I'm trying to see if I can fix it 
there, but don't hold your breath on my rpython expertise...

==================================
>>>> a = np.array([1,2,3])
>>>> a**2
array([1, 4, 9])
>>>> a[1]**2
Traceback (application-level):
  File "<inline>", line 1 in <module>
    a[1]**2
TypeError: operands do not support **
>>>> a[1]**np.array(2)
4
