[SciPy-User] typo in odeint docstring

[Tony S Yu]

I think the shape of the solutions returned by scipy.integrate.odeint is incorrectly documented: the number of rows matches the number of time steps (in the docstring, N_rows = len(y0))

Example:

>>> from scipy import integrate
>>> import numpy as np
>>> 
>>> x0 = np.ones(5)
>>> dxdt = lambda x, t: x + 1
>>> times = np.linspace(0, 1, 10)
>>> print integrate.odeint(dxdt, x0, times).shape
(10, 5)

Cheers,
-Tony

PS: I know there's some sort of doc editor for scipy. Should I be making the change there instead of emailing the list?
