Invalid value encoutered : how to prevent numpy.where to do this?
by Eric Emsellem 18 Feb '23

18 Feb '23

Dear all, I have a code using lots of "numpy.where" to make some constrained calculations as in: data = arange(10) result = np.where(data == 0, 0., 1./data) # or data1 = arange(10) data2 = arange(10)+1.0 result = np.where(data1 > data2, np.sqrt(data1-data2), np.sqrt(data2-data2)) which then produces warnings like: /usr/bin/ipython:1: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in sqrt or for the first example: /usr/bin/ipython:1: RuntimeWarning: divide by zero encountered in divide How do I avoid these messages to appear? I know that I could in principle use numpy.seterr. However, I do NOT want to remove these warnings for other potential divide/multiply/sqrt etc errors. Only when I am using a "where", to in fact avoid such warnings! Note that the warnings only happen once, but since I am going to release that code, I would like to avoid the user to get such messages which are irrelevant here (because I am testing, with the where, when NOT to divide by zero or take a sqrt of a negative number). thanks! Eric

I've posted this before, but I finally got it cleaned up for the Cookbook. For this purpose I use a subclass of file that has methods for reading unformatted Fortran data. See http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/FortranIO/FortranFile. I'd gladly see this in numpy or scipy somewhere, but I'm not sure where it belongs. > program makeArray > implicit none > integer,parameter:: nx=10,ny=20 > real(4),dimension(nx,ny):: ux,uy,p > integer :: i,j > open(11,file='uxuyp.bin',form='unformatted') > do i = 1,nx > do j = 1,ny > ux(i,j) = real(i*j) > uy(i,j) = real(i)/real(j) > p (i,j) = real(i) + real(j) > enddo > enddo > write(11) ux,uy > write(11) p > close(11) > end program makeArray When I run the above program compiled with gfortran on my Intel Mac, I can read it back with:: >>> import numpy as np >>> from fortranfile import FortranFile >>> f=FortranFile('uxuyp.bin', endian='<') >>> uxuy = f.readReals(prec='f') #

C-API: multidimensional array indexing?
by Johann Bauer 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Dear experts, is there a C-API function for numpy which implements Python's multidimensional indexing? Say, I have a 2d-array PyArrayObject * M; and an index int i; how do I extract the i-th row or column M[i,:] respectively M[:,i]? I am looking for a function which gives again a PyArrayObject * and which is a view to M (no copied data; the result should be another PyArrayObject whose data and strides points to the correct memory portion of M). I searched the API documentation, Google and mailing lists for quite a long time but didn't find anything. Can you help me? Thanks, Johann

SVD errors
by mtrumpis＠berkeley.edu 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Hello list.. I've run into two SVD errors over the last few days. Both errors are identical in numpy/scipy. I've submitted a ticket for the 1st problem (numpy ticket #990). Summary is: some builds of the lapack_lite module linking against system LAPACK (not the bundled dlapack_lite.o, etc) give a "LinAlgError: SVD did not converge" exception on my matrix. This error does occur using Mac's Accelerate framework LAPACK, and a coworker's Ubuntu LAPACK version. It does not seem to happen using ATLAS LAPACK (nor using Octave/Matlab on said Ubuntu) Just today I've come across a negative singular value cropping up in an SVD of a different matrix. This error does occur on my ATLAS LAPACK based numpy, as well as on the Ubuntu setup. And once again, it does not happen in Octave/Matlab. I'm using numpy 1.3.0.dev6336 -- don't know what the Ubuntu box is running. Here are some npy files for the two different cases: https://cirl.berkeley.edu/twiki/pub/User/MikeTrumpis/noconverge_operator.npy https://cirl.berkeley.edu/twiki/pub/User/MikeTrumpis/negsval_operator.npy Mike

pyhdf packaging
by Andreas Hilboll 23 May '13

23 May '13

Hi, I would like to package pyhdf for Ubuntu and make the package publicly available. Since the license is not totally clear to me (I cannot find any information in the sources, and the cheeseshop says "public", which doesn't mean anything to me), I tried to contact the maintainer, Andre Gosselin, however the email bounces, so I guess he's gone. Can anyone point me to how to proceed from here? Cheers, Andreas.

Any plans for windows 64-bit installer for 1.7?

Hi, I see there is no Windows 64 bit installer for the 1.7 rc1. Is there any prospect of a 64 bit installer for the full release? Can I help? I have a Windows 7 64 bit machine that I use as a build slave; I am happy to give access. Cheers, Matthew

Is numpy planning to participate in GSOC this year, either on their own or as a part of another group? If so, should we start trying to get some project suggestions together?

a question about freeze on numpy 1.7.0
by Gelin Yan 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hi All When I used numpy 1.7.0 with cx_freeze 4.3.1 on windows, I quickly found out even a simple "import numpy" may lead to program failed with following exception: "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'sys' After a poking around some codes I noticed /numpy/core/__init__.py has a line 'del sys' at the bottom. After I commented this line, and repacked the whole program, It ran fine. I also noticed this 'del sys' didn't exist on numpy 1.6.2 I am curious why this 'del sys' should be here and whether it is safe to omit it. Thanks. Regards gelin yan

Adding .abs() method to the array object

Hello, i know that the array object is already crowded, but i would like to see the abs method added, especially doing work on the console. Considering that many much less used functions are also implemented as a method, i don't think adding one more would be problematic. greetings Till
