assign a float number to a member of integer array always return integer

Dear all,

Just in case some one didn't know this. Assign a float number to an integer array element will always return integer.

In [4]: a=np.arange(2,11,2)

In [5]: a
Out[5]: array([ 2,  4,  6,  8, 10])

In [6]: a[1]=4.5

In [7]: a
Out[7]: array([ 2,  4,  6,  8, 10])

so I would always do this if I expected a transfer from integer to float?
In [18]: b=a.astype(float)

In [19]: b
Out[19]: array([  2.,   4.,   6.,   8.,  10.])

In [20]: b[1]=4.5

In [21]: b
Out[21]: array([  2. ,   4.5,   6. ,   8. ,  10. ])

thanks et cheers,

Chao
