I'm running into the following problem with putmask on take.
import numpy x = N.arange(12.) m = [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1] i = N.nonzero(m)[0] w = N.array([-1, -2, -3, -4.]) x.putmask(w,m) x.take(i) N.allclose(x.take(i),w)
According to the putmask docstring:
a.putmask(values, mask) sets a.flat[n] = v[n] for each n where mask.flat[n] is true. v can be scalar.
This would mean that 'w' is not of the right length.
There are 4 true values in m and 4 values in w. What's the wrong length? For the sake of clarity: In [1]: from numpy import * In [3]: m = [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1] In [4]: i = nonzero(m)[0] In [5]: i Out[5]: array([ 0, 6, 9, 11]) In [6]: w = array([-1, -2, -3, -4.]) In [7]: x = arange(12.) In [8]: x.putmask(w, m) In [9]: x Out[9]: array([ -1., 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., -3., 7., 8., -2., 10., -4.]) In [17]: x[array(m, dtype=bool)] = w In [18]: x Out[18]: array([ -1., 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., -2., 7., 8., -3., 10., -4.]) Out[9] and Out[18] should have been the same, but elements 6 and 9 are flipped. It's pretty clear that this is a bug in .putmask(). -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
