Hi, numarray seems to not support UInt64 types in 64-bit architecture. For example, on SGI Origin 2000 with R12000 processors, I'm getting: Python 2.2.2 (#2, Nov 19 2002, 18:46:18) [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on irix646 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. line 959, in ones retarr = _fillarray(ndarray.product(shape), 1, 0, type) File "/scratch1/fernande/libs/lib/python2.2/site-packages/numarray/numarray.py", line 160, in _fillarray if outtype > ptype: # Hack for Int64/UInt64 on 32-bit platforms.

while in my laptop (pentium IV, i.e. 32-bit), I've no problem with that: Python 2.2.2 (#3, Dec 26 2002, 16:40:05) [GCC 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import numarray numarray.ones((3,), numarray.UInt64) array([1, 1, 1], type=UInt64)

This is bizarre that a 64-bit machine does not support the UInt64 type while a 32-bit one do. I've been looking at the numarray code and that seems to be intentional, but I can't understand why. Somebody can enlighten my mind? Thanks, -- Francesc Alted
