[Numpy-discussion] Don't understand this error

[David Goldsmith]

res = np.fromfunction(make_res, (nx, ny))
   File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\numeric.py", line 1538, in
fromfunction
args = indices(shape, dtype=dtype)
   File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\numeric.py", line 1480, in
indices
tmp.shape = (1,)*i + (dim,)+(1,)*(N-i-1)
ValueError: total size of new array must be unchanged
Script terminated

If it's a new array, how can it already have a size that can't be changed?
What does this error really mean?
