[Numpy-discussion] ndarray.resize method and reference counting

[Stéfan van der Walt]

Hi Scott

I can't reproduce the problem below.  Would you please send a
self-contained snippet?

Note that, in Python, "_" is a special variable that always points to
the last result.  In IPython there are several others.

Cheers
Stéfan
