My "masked array" class MA has a problem that I don't know how to solve. The inplace multiply function
def __imul__ (self, other)
is not getting called while my other input operations do work. The scenario is
x = MA.array(...)
x *= c
If c is an int, this works correctly, calling MA.__imul__. Otherwise, I get a message from the Python runtime saying it can't multiply a sequence by a non-int. But change MA to Numeric, it works.
Numeric is an extension type and MA is a (new style) class. MA defines __len__ as well as all the math operators.
What version of Python? This smells like a bug that has been (thought) fixed. Cheers, M. -- The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit. -- W. Somerset Maugham
