SymPy Matrix class to Numpy array class in Python

[Math newbie]

Let's say I have a matrix M in the SymPy Matrix class, how may I create a Numpy array variable that takes the same values as in M?

I tried np.array(M). But its dtype=Object which is strange and I am not sure what does it mean.

Any idea would be extremely helpful! Thanks!

Ideally you should be able to just do np.array(Matrix(...),
dtype=float) (or dtype=int) to create a numpy array with a native
dtype. But it looks like there is a bug that prevents it from working
(https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/14943). So for now you can use

from sympy import matrix2numpy
matrix2numpy(M, dtype=float)
