Are there any reasons why numpy.complex doesn't work on arrays? Should it be bug reported?

numpy.complex is just a reference to the built in complex, so only works on scalars: In [5]: numpy.complex is complex Out[5]: True Try numpy.complex128 (or another numpy.complexN, with N being the bit length). Henry
