Folks, I keep running into the following problem since some recent update (I'm currently running 1.0b3, but the problem occurred roughly around 0.9.8): >>> import numpy.core.ma as MA >>> x=MA.array([[1],[2]],mask=False) >>> x.sum(None) /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/core/ma.py in reduce(self, target, axis, dtype) 393 m.shape = (1,) 394 if m is nomask: --> 395 return masked_array (self.f.reduce (t, axis)) 396 else: 397 t = masked_array (t, m) TypeError: an integer is required #................................ Note that x.sum(0) and x.sum(1) work fine. I know some consensus seems to be lacking with MA, but still, I can't see why axis=None is not recognized. Corollary: with masked array, the default axis for sum is 0, when it's None for regular arrays. Is there a reason for this inconsistency ? Thanks a lot

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Release of 1.0b5 this weekend

>I find it much cleaner to write >x = foo.bar().baz(param).frob() >than >foo.bar() >foo.baz(param) >x = foo.frob() >but perhaps others disagree. Both of these look "clean" but i do not think that moving 3 lines to one line makes code "cleaner" They both do the same thing and if someone that does not know what .bar() .baz(param) and .frob() are IMO the second version that takes place on three lines would be easier to understand. >I'm generally +0 on this idea (it seems like the clarity in writing >comes largely for interactive users), and don't see much difficulty in >separating the constructs.

So, how is this different from the fact that >b = a[1:10:3] already returns a reference to 'a' >(I suppose in the fact that it actually returns a new object just one >that happens to share the same data with a). >However, I suppose that other methods don't return a reference to an >already-altered object, do they. >Tim's argument has moved me from +0 to -0 >-Travis I couldn't agree more with you and Tim on this. I would rather have code that works all the time and will not possibly confuse people later, like the example of >b = a.sort() >and think you have a new array, but in fact have a new reference to the >already-altered 'a'? alot of people have problems grasping this "memory management" type of programming...or at least in my C class half of the kids dropped out because the couldnt keep track of b = a.sort() meaning that b was actually just referencing a and if you changed b then a was changed also. But then again who on this list has problems remembering things like that anyways right?... ~Kenny

Documentation

by Charles R Harris

Hi All, I've finished moving all the docstrings in arraymethods to add_newdocs. Much of the documentation is still incomplete and needs nicer formatting, so if you are so inclined, or even annoyed with some of the help messages, feel free to fix things up. Chuck

Is numpy supposed to support the buffer protocol?

by Christopher Barker

HI all, Robin Dunn has been working on adding better support for dumping data directly to wxPython from the num* packages. I've been talking to him about the new array interface, and he might well support it (particularly if one of us contributes code), but in the meantime, he's got a number of things working with python buffers. For instance: wx.Image.SetDataBuffer(dataBuffer) That sets the data for a wxImage to the buffer handed in. This isn't as nice as the array protocol, as it has no way of checking anything other than if the length of the buffer is correct, but it is a good way to maximize performance for this sort of thing. he's now working on adding methods for creating wx.Bitmaps directly from buffers. In the process if testing some of this, I discovered that numarray (which Robin is testing with) works fine, but numpy does not. I get: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 2814, in SetDataBuffer return _core_.Image_SetDataBuffer(*args, **kwargs) TypeError: non-character array cannot be interpreted as character buffer If I try to pass in a numpy array, while it works great with a numarray array. While I'm a great advocate of the new array protocol, it seems supporting the buffer protocol also would be a good idea. I've enclosed some simple test code. It works with numarray, but not numpy 1.0b4 Tested with Python 2.4.3, wxPython 2.6.3.0, Linux fedora core4 -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker(a)noaa.gov

error in ctypes example from the numpy book?

by W. Bryan Smith

hi, i posted this to the forum, but it looks like the email list gets much more traffic, so here goes. i am attempting to reproduce a portion of the example on using ctypes from the current version of the numpy book (the example can be found on pps 313-16). here is what i am trying to do: import numpy import interface x = numpy.array(range(1,1)) y = numpy.ones_like(x) z = interface.add(a,b) prints the following error: BEGIN ERROR>> 26 b = N.require(b, dtype, requires) 27 c = N.empty_like(a) ---> 28 func(a,b,c,a.size) 29 return c 30 ArgumentError: argument 1: exceptions.TypeError: Don't know how to convert parameter 1 <<END ERROR In case it matters, here are the relevant bits of code I am using (since I have not just copied the entire text from the example): BEGIN testAddInt.c >> /* Add arrays of contiguous data */ typedef struct {double real;} cdouble; typedef struct {float real;} cfloat; void dadd(double *a, double *b, double *c, long n) { while (n--) { *c++ = *a++ + *b++; } } void sadd(float *a, float *b, float *c, long n) { while (n--) { *c++ = *a++ + *b++; } } <<END testAddInt.c and the interface code: BEGIN interface.py>> __all__ = ['add'] import numpy as N from ctypes import * import os _path = os.path.dirname('__file__') lib = N.ctypeslib.ctypes_load_library('testAddInt', _path) for name in ['sadd','dadd']: getattr(lib,name).restype=None def select(dtype): if dtype.char in['?bBhHf']: return lib.sadd, single else: return lib.dadd, float return func, ntype def add(a,b): requires = ['CONTIGUOUS','ALIGNED'] a = N.asanyarray(a) func, dtype = select(a.dtype) a = N.require(a, dtype, requires) b = N.require(b, dtype, requires) c = N.empty_like(a) func(a,b,c,a.size) return c <<END interface.py any hints/clues/suggestions as to what i am doing wrong here? since i am so new at this, i am assuming there is a simple mistake in what i am doing, but i cannot find it! thanks so much, bryan
