[Cython] buffer shape incompatible with memoryview shape
Hi, I find this worth fixing for 0.17: http://trac.cython.org/cython_trac/ticket/780 Stefan

You can easily work around it by writing (<object> memoryview).shape though. I think these shape/strides/suboffset arrays should have a special type and coerce to tuples when coercing to an object. Feel free to work on that, it wouldn't really require touching much or any of the memoryview code, it's not really on m priority list right now. BTW, Stefan, how do we start Jenkins on the sage server? It's been down for weeks now.

The object<->memoryview semantics haven't even been hammered down yet; does "mview.customattr" trigger an AttributeError, SyntaxError or fall back to some underlying object (constructing it if necesarry). Until that happens, memoryviews are an experimental feature and present for development purposes mostly, so it's not like this is a big bug that would bite end-users. Thinking about those semantics is much more important... Dag

Thinking about those semantics is much more important... Absolutely. I ran into this when I gave a Cython+NumPy course and this was the first thing that the attendants tried when I asked them to validate that two input arrays have the same size before adding them. It's the one obvious way to do it, and it fails miserably. I think it should be fixed, and I think it should be fixed soon because it feels really low-level and complicated, especially to new users.

Can you clarify a bit -- did you give this course using np.ndarray[double, ndim=2], or double[:, :]? They're really very separate under the hood and the fix is different.(Continue reading)

IIRC, we used object[double, ndim=2] for both and I also tried it with a memory view as in the bug report. I thought that using "object" was the preferred way to do it? At least, it doesn't restrict the type of the buffer exporter, which I consider a good thing. Stefan

That's a very theoretical argument as NumPy arrays are in practice the only exporter.(Continue reading)
