I think that in this case, mathematical notation is different from python concepts. If I create a zero-dimensional array, with the value 5, like this: >>> a = array(5) I refer to the array object as "a", and to the int it stores as "a[]". For example, I can change the value it holds by writing >>> a[] = 8 Writing "a = 8" would have a completely different meaning - create a new name, a, pointing at a new int, 8.
