Subclassing Numpy Arrays?

[Jon McLin]

I have an application wherein I need to subclass Numpy arrays.  This
does not appear doable, at least directly.  I can obviously create my
own python wrapper class around arrays to enable subclassing, but this
seems like a lot of work. especially given the on-going type/class
unification.  Can anyone provide insight into the likelihood and
timeframe for subclassable array types in Numpy, or point me in a
productive direction?
 
Thanks,
Jon
