And that's a good thing. As type conversion functions, bool(x) and int(x) should *always* return bools and ints respectively (or raise an exception), no matter what you pass in for x. If I do "list(efoo)", where efoo is an ElementwiseProxy object, should I expect to get the efoo collection converted to a list, or another ElementwiseProxy where each element has been converted to a list? I would hope the former. > This was developed as a proof of concept for expanding the role of > element-wise syntax in python, and to that end I welcome comments. The examples you gave are all numerical in nature. If I might inquire, what might I use this for that I can't already do with numpy?
