I've seen talk of it swallowing some exceptions, but I'm not sure of the specifics. Are you referring to "import numpy.ma.mrecords" under Python 2.3, NumPy trunk? Here's what I get: Python 2.3.7 (#1, Jul 14 2008, 22:34:29) [GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. line 107, in ? import ma File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/ma/__init__.py", line 14, in ? import core File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/ma/core.py", line 113, in ? max_filler.update([(k, -np.inf) for k in [np.float32, np.float64]]) AttributeError: keys
