                object whose __array__ method returns an array, or any
                (nested) sequence.
      dtype  - The desired data-type for the array.  If not given, then
                the type will be determined as the minimum type required
                to hold the objects in the sequence.  This argument can only

      copy   - If true, then force a copy.  Otherwise a copy will only occur
                if __array__ returns a copy, obj is a nested sequence, or
                a copy is needed to satisfy any of the other requirements
      order  - Specify the order of the array.  If order is 'C', then the
                array will be in C-contiguous order (last-index varies the
                fastest).  If order is 'FORTRAN', then the returned array

                be in either C-, or Fortran-contiguous order or even
                discontiguous.
      subok  - If True, then sub-classes will be passed-through, otherwise
                the returned array will be forced to be a base-class array
      ndmin  - Specifies the minimum number of dimensions that the resulting

    useful when used with argsort where the key might differ from the items
    being sorted. The three available algorithms have the following properties:
