Numarray question

[Matt Feinstein]

If I try

>>> 2 < array([1,2,3])

I get:

array([0, 0, 1], type=Bool)

which is pretty slick, However if I set

>>> q = 2 < array([1,2,3])
>>> q and q

I get a runtime error: "An array doesn't make sense as a truth value."

So..  why not? It seems to me that if I could vectorize logical
expressions (a la Matlab), it would be a lot easier to write functions
that will take either scalar or vector input values. Am I missing
something?
