python里numpy的替代用法_Python - 使用numpy数组作为字典中的关键字的替代方法

I'm pretty new to Python numpy. I was attempted to use numpy array as the key in dictionary in one of my functions and then been told by Python interpreter that numpy array is not hashable. I've just found out that one way to work this issue around is to use repr() function to convert numpy array to a string but it seems very expensive. Is there any better way to achieve same effect?

Update: I could create a new class to contain the numpy array, which seems to be right way to achieve what I want. Just wondering if there is any better method?

update 2: Using a class to contain data in the array and then override __hash__ function is acceptable, however, I'd prefer the solution provided by @hpaulj. Convert the array/list to a tuple fits my need in a better way as it does not require an additional class.

解决方案

After done some researches and reading through all comments. I think I've known the answer to my own question so I'd just write them down.

Write a class to contain the data in the array and then override __hash__ function to amend the way how it is hashed as mentioned by ZdaR

Convert this array to a tuple, which makes the list hashable instantaneously.Thanks to hpaulj

I'd prefer method No.2 because it fits my need better, as well as simpler. However, using a class might bring some additional benefits so it could also be useful.
