Hi all,<br><br>Can someone explain why the following occurs?<br><br>a = numpy.zeros((100))<br>b = numpy.ones((10))<br>a[20:30] = b&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; # okay<br clear="all">eval('a[50:60] = b')&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; # raises SyntaxError: invalid syntax
<br><br>Is there some line mangling that the interpretor does that eval doesn't do?<br><br>I see there's room for global and local parameters to eval. Would setting one of those be the answer?<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Angus.
