Hi Skipper,
No, I don't believe so. The reason is that NumPy arrays have to obey constant stride along each dimension. Assuming
dtype is int32, the reshaping you describe (assuming you want to reshape c into d) would require the stride along dim
2 to be 4 bytes to get from 0 to 1, and then 12 bytes to get to 4, and then 4 bytes again to get to 5. This isn't
legal, you'd have to do a copy to construct this matrix.
