Take it as a reminder: when reporting an error or problem, even if it doesn't seem relevant, always provide version number. :-) DG On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 12:50 PM, Mark Bakker <markbak@gmail.com> wrote:

What version of numpy are you using? That docstring was updated in that fashion about 8 mo. ago (at least in the Wiki; I'm not sure exactly when it was merged, but it does appear that way in version 1.4.0).

I am using linalg.solve to solve a system of linear equations. As I have to

solve multiple systems with the same matrix, but different right-hand sides, I tried to make the right-hand side a matrix and that works fine. So the docstring should say:

Solve the equation ``a x = b`` for ``x``.

Parameters ---------- a : array_like, shape (M, M) Input equation coefficients. b : array_like, shape (M,) or array_like, shape (M,N) N can be arbitrary size Equation target values.

Returns ------- x : array, shape (M,) or array, shape (M,N)

Thanks,
