BUG: cp.generic is an alias for np.generic

[crusaderky]

Fix bug where plain numpy objects e.g. np.int64(0) would take cupy-specific code paths.

This is a blocker for implementing at function in array-api-extra.

What would be a scenario where cupy aliasing array scalars matters? I just tried running https://github.com/data-apis/array-api-compat/blob/main/test_cupy.sh locally, and it passes with or without.

Not that I'm aware of.
If there are any cases where the output of is_cupy_array(cp.somefunction(...)) needs to return True, even if the output is a np.generic, then those cases will need to be looked into.

To me this looks like a copy-paste error from is_numpy_array.

So if there's no use case, what are the reasons for this then?

There is no use case that I know of where is_cupy_array(cupy.asarray([1])[0]) returning False would cause a problem - which is what this PR would cause.
But it is a big problem if is_cupy_array(numpy.asarray([1])[0]) returns True - which is what happens now in main.

That's bad indeed if that happens, but... does it?

In [5]: is_cupy_array(np.asarray([1])[0])
Out[5]: False

This is on main, after

What am I missing?

What am I missing?

You're missing cupy in sys.modules.

In [1]: from array_api_compat import is_cupy_array
In [2]: import numpy as np
In [3]: g = np.asarray([0])[0]
In [4]: is_cupy_array(g)
Out[4]: False
In [5]: import cupy
In [6]: is_cupy_array(g)
Out[6]: True

[ev-br]

Ouf, yes indeed, is_cupy_array(....) is False unless cupy has been imported. So yes, a clear bug with a clear fix. Thank you @crusaderky
