问题
I have a numpy array that is changed by a function. After calling the function I want to proceed with the initial value of the array (value before calling the modifying function)
# Init of the array
array = np.array([1, 2, 3])
# Function that modifies array
func(array)
# Print the init value [1,2,3]
print(array)
Is there a way to pass the array by value or am I obligated to make a deep copy?
回答1:
As I mentioned, np.ndarray objects are mutable data structures. This means that any variables that refer to a particular object will all reflect changes when a change is made to the object.
However, keep in mind that most numpy functions that transform arrays return new array objects, leaving the original unchanged.
What you need to do in this scenario depends on exactly what you're doing. If your function modifies the same array in place, then you'll need to pass a copy to the function. You can do this with np.ndarray.copy.

You could use the following library (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pynverse) that inverts your function and call it, like so :
from pynverse import inversefunc
cube = (lambda x: x**3)
invcube = inversefunc(cube)
arr = func(arr)
In [0]: arr
Out[0]: array([1, 8, 27], dtype=int32)
In [1]: invcube(arr)
Out[1]: array([1, 2, 3])
