Hi!

My unittests got broken because 'a==b' for numpy arrays returns an
array instead of returning True or False:

> >> import numpy
> >> a = numpy.array([1, 2])
> >> b = numpy.array([1, 4])
> >> a==b
array([True, False], dtype=bool)

This means, for example:
> >> if a==b:
...   print 'equal'
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin> ", line 1, in ?
ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous.
Use a.any() or a.all()
> >>


Now, I think that having a way of getting an element-wise comparison
(i.e. getting an array of bools) is great. _But_ why make that the
result of a '==' comparison? Is there any actual code that does, for
example
> >> result_array = a==b
or any variant thereof?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
