random integers
by Charles R Harris 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Hi All, I've implemented several new random integer functions in #6910 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/6910>, to wit - np.random.random_int32 - np.random.random_int64 - np.random.random_intp These are the minimum functions that I think we need for the numpy 1.11.0 release, most especially the random_intp function for fuzz testing the mem_overlap functions. However, there is the question of the best way to expose the functions. Currently, they are all separately exposed, but it would also be possible to expose them through a new dtype argument to the current np.random.random_integers function. Note that all all the new functions would still be there, but they could be hidden as private functions. Also, there is the option of adding a complete set comprising booleans, int8, int16, and the unsigned versions. So the two, not mutually exclusive, proposed enhancements are - expose the new functions through a dtype argument to random_integers, hide the other functions - expose the new functions through a dtype argument to random_integers, not hide the other functions - make a complete set of random integer types There is currently no easy way to specify the complete range, so a proposal for that would be to generate random numbers over the full possible range of the type if no arguments are specified. That seems like a fairly natural extension. Finally, there is also a proposal to allow broadcasting/element wise selection of the range. This is the most complicated of the proposed enhancements and I am not really in favor, but it would be good to hear from others. Thoughts? Chuck

How to find indices of values in an array (indirect in1d) ?
by Nicolas P. Rougier 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

I’m scratching my head around a small problem but I can’t find a vectorized solution. I have 2 arrays A and B and I would like to get the indices (relative to B) of elements of A that are in B: >>> A = np.array([2,0,1,4]) >>> B = np.array([1,2,0]) >>> print (some_function(A,B)) [1,2,0] # A[0] == 2 is in B and 2 == B[1] -> 1 # A[1] == 0 is in B and 0 == B[2] -> 2 # A[2] == 1 is in B and 1 == B[0] -> 0 Any idea ? I tried numpy.in1d with no luck. Nicolas

Problem writing array with savetxt (python3.5)
by Maxim Mayzel 26 Dec '15

26 Dec '15

Dear all, I’m having a problem writing an array with np.savetxt, see below. (python3.5, numpy 1.10.1) import numpy as np a=np.ones(5,dtype=int) np.savetxt('t.txt',a) Works fine, but the content of ’t.txt’ is overwritten. But, passing file handle gives an error, while it works fine on python2.7 ! with open('t.txt','w') as t: np.savetxt(t,a,fmt='%i') ...: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) /Users/may/anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages/numpy/lib/npyio.py in savetxt(fname, X, fmt, delimiter, newline, header, footer, comments) 1155 try: -> 1156 fh.write(asbytes(format % tuple(row) + newline)) 1157 except TypeError: TypeError: write() argument must be str, not bytes During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-4-cce5156eb1e6> in <module>() 1 with open('t.txt','w') as t: ----> 2 np.savetxt(t,a,fmt='%i') 3 /Users/may/anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages/numpy/lib/npyio.py in savetxt(fname, X, fmt, delimiter, newline, header, footer, comments) 1158 raise TypeError("Mismatch between array dtype ('%s') and " 1159 "format specifier ('%s')" -> 1160 % (str(X.dtype), format)) 1161 if len(footer) > 0: 1162 footer = footer.replace('\n', '\n' + comments) TypeError: Mismatch between array dtype ('int64') and format specifier ('%i’) Best, Dr. Maxim Mayzel

packaging of numpy for windows
by jo 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Hi I would like to package python + numpy and our app for windows using pynsist in such a way that the user does not need to compile anything. Although pynsist made a package numpy did not start after installation due to some missing libraries. Obviously including the numpy directory is not enough. Is there an nsi script or filelist for numpy what I should deliver ? Do I need msft redistributables? tx

numpy-1.11.0.dev0 windows wheels compiled with mingwpy available
by Carl Kleffner 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

I made numpy master (numpy-1.11.0.dev0 , https://github.com/numpy/numpy/commit/0243bce23383ff5e894b99e40df2f8fd806ad…) windows binary wheels available for testing. Install it with pip: > pip install -i https://pypi.anaconda.org/carlkl/simple numpy These builds are compiled with OPENBLAS trunk for BLAS/LAPACK support and the mingwpy compiler toolchain. OpenBLAS is deployed within the numpy wheels. To be performant on all usual CPU architectures OpenBLAS is configured with it's 'dynamic architecture' and automatic CPU detection. This version of numpy fakes long double as double just like the MSVC builds. Some test statistics: win32 (32 bit) numpy-1.11.0.dev0, python-2.6: errors=8, failures=1 numpy-1.11.0.dev0, python-2.7: errors=8, failures=1 numpy-1.11.0.dev0, python-3.3: errors=9 numpy-1.11.0.dev0, python-3.4: errors=9 amd64 (64bit) numpy-1.11.0.dev0, python-2.6: errors=9, failures=6 numpy-1.11.0.dev0, python-2.7: errors=9, failures=6 numpy-1.11.0.dev0, python-3.3: errors=10, failures=6 numpy-1.11.0.dev0, python-3.4: errors=10, failures=6 Carl

Unfortunately I only saw your message after and addressed the problem in a different way to your suggestion (passing in a flag instead). It'd be great to have your input on the PR though (maybe github or pm me, to avoid flooding the mailing list). Best, Peter

Proposal: stop providing official win32 downloads (for now)
by Nathaniel Smith 22 Dec '15

22 Dec '15

Hi all, I'm wondering what people think of the idea of us (= numpy) stopping providing our "official" win32 builds (the "superpack installers" distributed on sourceforge) starting with the next release. These builds are: - low quality: they're linked to an old & untuned build of ATLAS, so linear algebra will be dramatically slower than builds using MKL or OpenBLAS. They're win32 only and will never support win64. They're using an ancient version of gcc. They will never support python 3.5 or later. - a dead end: there's a lot of work going on to solve the windows build problem, and hopefully we'll have something better in the short-to-medium-term future; but, any solution will involve throwing out the current system entirely and switching to a new toolchain, wheel-based distribution, etc. - a drain on our resources: producing these builds is time-consuming and finicky; I'm told that these builds alone are responsible for a large proportion of the energy spent preparing each release, and take away from other things that our release managers could be doing (e.g. QA and backporting fixes). So the idea would be that for 1.11, we create a 1.11 directory on sourceforge and upload one final file: a README explaining the situation, a pointer to the source releases on pypi, and some links to places where users can find better-supported windows builds (Gohlke's page, Anaconda, etc.). I think this would serve our users better than the current system, while also freeing up a drain on our resources. Thoughts? -n -- Nathaniel J. Smith -- http://vorpus.org
