How to print a numpy array with data type?

Question

When I run following code using a script I get,

a = np.arange(4, dtype=object).reshape((2,2))
print(a[:,0]);

Result: [0, 2].

But if I run the following code in terminal, I get,

a = np.arange(4, dtype=object).reshape((2,2))
a[:,0]

Result: array([0, 2], dtype=object)

How can I get the 2nd output using print method in a script file?

print defaults to printing the str representation of its arguments. You need the repr representation:

print(repr(a[:, 0]))
