A while ago we had a brief discussion about this.
Is this a feature? or should there be a ticket for this
np.sqrt('5')
NotImplemented
a = np.sqrt('5') a
NotImplemented
type(a)
<type 'NotImplementedType'>

Maybe an enhancement ticket. The NotImplemented return is appropriate for some functions, but for functions with a single argument we should probably raise an error.

A NotImplemented value leaking to the the user is a bug. The function should raise a ValueError instead.
NotImplemented is meant only for use as a placeholder singleton in implementation of rich comparison operations etc., and we shouldn't introduce any new meanings IMHO.

http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1494 with a few examples
I don't know which component

What numpy version? I get
In [2]: sqrt(['a']) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NotImplementedError Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/charris/<ipython console> in <module>()
NotImplementedError: Not implemented for this type
In [3]: sqrt('a') --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NotImplementedError Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/charris/<ipython console> in <module>()
NotImplementedError: Not implemented for this type
Which is entirely different. Note that Py_NotImplemented is *not* only for comparisons, it is a signal to the interpreter to try the r* version of a binary operator.
OTOH,
In [4]: maximum('a',1) Out[4]: NotImplemented
Which is still a problem. I think no ufunc should return NotImplemented, it should be reserved to methods so the interpreter will handle it correctly.

Obviously I'm too old (numpy 1.4.0)
