<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to convert from MATLAB to Python.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am using <STRONG><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Python 2.4.3 for Windows (Enthought Edition)</FONT></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In one of the first programs, I tried to use the special functions from the SciPy "special" module.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, when I tryed:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>> from scipy import *<BR>>> special.jv(0,1+1j)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I got an error message and python restarted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The problem did not go away after I installed the latest version of SciPy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a significant bug in the bessel functions when handling complex arguments ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or, is it some feature that I do not understand ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
