looks good to me



  	2381 +        if x.shape[0] == 2:
  	2382 +            y = x[1, :]
  	2383 +            x = x[0, :]
  	2384 +        elif x.shape[1] == 2:
  	2385 +            y = x[:, 1]
  	2386 +            x = x[:, 0]

could use tuple unpacking instead, works with arrays
x,y = x
and
x,y = x.T

Thanks,

Josef
