[f2py] column major versus row major storage question...

All:

this is probably another one of my silly questions.....

If you create an array in Python, such as

sC = array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]])

and print it out it shows

[[1 2 3]
  [4 5 6]]

now, suppose I try and convert that array to a column major storage via

sF = fortran.as_column_major_storage(sC)

and if the data transposition is done, then should not the print out of  
sF be

[[1 3 5]
  [2 4 6]]   ???

its not...

thanks for any help to cure my stupidity...

Lou
