numpy.asanyarray()

numpy.asanyarray(a, dtype=None, order=None) [source]

Convert the input to an ndarray, but pass ndarray subclasses through.

Parameters:

a : array_like

Input data, in any form that can be converted to an array. This includes scalars, lists, lists of tuples, tuples, tuples of tuples, tuples of lists, and ndarrays.

dtype : data-type, optional

By default, the data-type is inferred from the input data.

order : {?C?, ?F?}, optional

Whether to use row-major (C-style) or column-major (Fortran-style) memory representation. Defaults to ?C?.

Returns:

out : ndarray or an ndarray subclass

Array interpretation of a. If a is an ndarray or a subclass of ndarray, it is returned as-is and no copy is performed.

Examples

Convert a list into an array:

>>> a = [1, 2]
>>> np.asanyarray(a)
array([1, 2])

Instances of ndarray subclasses are passed through as-is:

>>> a = np.matrix([1, 2])
>>> np.asanyarray(a) is a
True
