Numeric + wxPython, can't understand a bug...

[John Ladasky]

Hi, folks,

This probably has to do with Numeric and not with wxPython, but I
mention both for completeness.

My OS: Win2000
Python: 2.3.4
wx: 2.6.1.0, Unicode version
Numeric: 23.8


Here's the minimal code:
================================================

height = 50
width = 60
L = []
for y in range(height):
    for x in range(width):
        L.append(wx.Point(3+(2*x+y%2)*4, 3+7*y))
print width, height, len(L)
pos = reshape(array(L), (height, width))



And here's the output:
================================================

60 50 3000

pos = reshape(array(L), (height, width))
ValueError: total size of new array must be unchanged



I've used exactly this approach to create 2D arrays from lists of
numbers, with no problems.  Why does this fail with wx.Point objects?
Why is it telling me that I'm changing the array size, when the
dimensions indicate that I am NOT?  Typecasting the array as
containing PyObject items does not change the error message...

Thanks for any advice!
