Re: [Numpy-discussion] Second try: possible bug in assignment to complex array
Shall I file a bug report? Or is this fairly easy to fix? Mark

I think there is a problem with assigning a 1D complex array of
length
one
to a position in another complex array.
Example:
a = ones(1,'D') b = ones(1,'D') a[0] = b
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-37-0c4fc6d780e3> in <module>() ----> 1 a[0] = b
TypeError: can't convert complex to float
This works correctly when a and b are real arrays:
a = ones(1) b = ones(1) a[0] = b
Bug or feature?
The exact same thing happens on OS X 10.7.4, python 2.7.3, numpy 1.6.1.
Looks like a bug to me - or at least very surprising behavior.
This is definitely an inconsistency. The error seems more correct (though the error message needs improvement).
Can someone try this on NumPy 1.5 and see if this inconsistency existed there as well.
np.__version__ '1.5.1'
a = np.ones(1,'D') b = np.ones(1,'D') a[0] = b Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: can't convert complex to float
a = np.ones(1) b = np.ones(1) a[0] = b
and
a = np.ones(1,'D') b = 2*np.ones(1) a[0] = b a array([ 2.+0.j]) c = 3*np.ones(1, int) a[0] = c a array([ 3.+0.j])
