python find a shape in array code example

Example 1: numpy shape

>>> a = np.array([(1, 2), (3, 4)], dtype=[('x', 'i4'), ('y', 'i4')])
>>> np.shape(a)
(2,)
>>> a.shape
(2,)

Example 2: .shape[0] python

In [46]: Y = np.arange(12).reshape(3,4)

In [47]: Y
Out[47]: 
array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
       [ 4,  5,  6,  7],
       [ 8,  9, 10, 11]])

In [48]: Y.shape
Out[48]: (3, 4)

In [49]: Y.shape[0]
Out[49]: 3
