[SciPy-dev] numpy.cumproduct() documentation: bug?

[Otto Tronarp]

You want to specify the axis argument:
In [14]: a
Out[14]:
array([[1, 2],
        [3, 4],
        [5, 6]])

In [15]: cumsum(a, axis=0)
Out[15]:
array([[ 1,  2],
        [ 4,  6],
        [ 9, 12]])

In [16]: diff(a, axis=0)
Out[16]:
array([[2, 2],
        [2, 2]])

Otto
