Hi, I just updated scipy from svn and stats.linregress(x,y) returns

TypeError: don't know how to dispatch <type ' numpy.ndarray'> arguments
Also, in ipython, linregress? returns a doc about the dispatch class. Is this intended ?
That version of stats.py is not from scipy. That version tried to handle lists as well as arrays. The functions for each type were wrapped by a dispatching class that would call the appropriate version depending on the argument type. That version of stats.py was written for Numeric and cannot deal with numpy arrays. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
