Hi all,

I get some issue using gradient on an array created from memmap:

PC-Fred[pts/10]:~/{11}/> ipython -p numpy
Python 2.6.7 (r267:88850, Jul 10 2011, 08:11:54)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 0.10.2 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
?         -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help      -> Python's own help system.
object?   -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.

IPython profile: numpy

PC-Fred[12:39:18]:~/{1}/> a=array([[1.,2.], [3., 4.]], dtype='f')

PC-Fred[12:40:24]:~/{2}/> a.tofile('a.sep')

PC-Fred[12:40:32]:~/{3}/> del a

PC-Fred[12:40:45]:~/{4}/> a = memmap('a.sep', mode='r', dtype='f',
shape=(2,2))

PC-Fred[12:40:49]:~/{5}/> x, y = gradient(a, 1, 1)

AttributeError: 'memmap' object has no attribute 'filename'


Sounds like a bug or not?

Any clue?
