[Numpy-discussion] sort bug

This code -- adj = [ [eval(y) for y in x.split()] for x in infile ] val,vec = numpy.linalg.eig(adj) master = zip( val, vec.transpose() ) master.sort() *sometimes* gives this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "3work.py", line 14, in <module> master.sort() ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all() What does sort() care about truth values?! numpy.linalg.eig() sometimes returns complex values, which may not have a natural ordering, but I get this error (sometimes) even when it returns reals. -- Anton Sherwood, http://www.ogre.nu/ "How'd ya like to climb this high *without* no mountain?" --Porky Pine
