This statement: z= _n.array([True, False, True, True], type= _nt.BooleanType) gives an exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ? File "C:\PROGRA~1\Python23\lib\site-packages\numarray\numarraycore.py", line 284, in array type = getTypeObject(sequence, type, typecode) File "C:\PROGRA~1\Python23\lib\site-packages\numarray\numarraycore.py", line 217, in getTypeObject return getType(type) File "C:\PROGRA~1\Python23\lib\site-packages\numarray\numarraycore.py", line 324, in getType raise TypeError("Not a numeric type") TypeError: Not a numeric type If we leave out the type parameter, the array is created with 32 bit words.
