title: list of lists into numpy array - wrong output
body: <p>I am pretty new to Python, I have a list of lists, which when printed this is the following output, lets call it list1:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[['2012-09-01', '25,922'], ['2013-09-01', '41,733'], ['2014-09-01', '37,037'], ['2015-09-01', '39,510'], ['2016-09-01', '53,394']]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I am converting to a numpy array, just like in this thread <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10346336/list-of-lists-into-numpy-array">List of lists into numpy array</a></p>
  
  <p>and when I do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>print(numpy.array(list1))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[['2012-09-01' '25,922']
   ['2013-09-01' '41,733']
   ['2014-09-01' '37,037']
   ['2015-09-01' '39,510']
   ['2016-09-01' '53,394']]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was expecting the same output as the previous one, just like in the other thread. What stupid thing am I doing here? </p>
  
  <p>When I print both types of the lists I get the following output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;class 'list'&gt;
  &lt;class 'numpy.ndarray'&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So its seems to be doing the right thing.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
