The subject line contains what I consider to be an invalid range expression. Numarray, now and always, reacts badly to it. Currently, numarray tries to allocate a multi-gigabyte array. In the past, it has dumped core.
The question is, what should it do?
1. raise ValueError, "Invalid negative range expression" (my +1)
+1
I didn't realize Numeric behaved badly in this area.

I replied to this earlier, but I may have forgotten to reply-all, because I never saw my response. Anyway, I don't think Numeric has a problem with arange(<negative_value>), but numarray does. The vote is currently +3 "raise", +2 "compatible". All votes appreciated Todd
