[Numpy-discussion] Really strange result

In [16]: (np.linspace (0, len (x)-1, len(x)).astype (np.uint64)*2).dtype Out[16]: dtype('uint64') In [17]: (np.linspace (0, len (x)-1, len(x)).astype (np.uint64)*n).dtype Out[17]: dtype('float64') In [18]: type(n) Out[18]: <type 'int'> Now that's just strange. What's going on?
