Hi,

I'm writing this here because the numpy Trac seems down:

{{{ Oops...

Trac detected an internal error: The Trac Environment needs to be upgraded. Run trac-admin /home/scipy/trac/numpy upgrade" }}}

Well, it seems that there are inconsistencies on creating arrays coming from negative values using unsigned integers:

In [41]: numpy.asarray([-1], dtype='uint8') Out[41]: array([255], dtype=uint8)

In [42]: numpy.asarray([-1], dtype='uint16') Out[42]: array([65535], dtype=uint16)

until here it's fine, but:

In [43]: numpy.asarray([-1], dtype='uint32') --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <type 'exceptions.TypeError'> Traceback (most recent call last)

/home/faltet/python.nobackup/numpy/<ipython console> in <module>()

/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/numeric.py in asarray(a, dtype, order) 129 are converted to base class ndarray. 130 """ --> 131 return array(a, dtype, copy=False, order=order) 132 133 def asanyarray(a, dtype=None, order=None):

<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: long() argument must be a string or a number, not 'list'

and the same happens with 'uint64'.

My numpy version is 1.0.dev3216

Regards,
