Interesting. It does work with lower filter order. In fact, there is a range of values of filter order for which I get the warning, but also some result. This results looks slightly flatter than the result with filter order set to 6, but is not completely flat. What does the filter order do, intuitively?

Hi Warren,
thanks for this example!
I am getting the following error:
Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/6.0.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/signal/filter_design.py:224:
BadCoefficients: Badly conditionned filter coefficients (numerator): the results may be meaningless "results may be meaningless", BadCoefficients)
For any attempt to filter a low-pass below 12 Hz in this example (so - I don't get the plot you got - instead I get a flat line on the bottom subplot). Do you (or anyone?) have any idea why that is?
Nils Wagner reported the same behavior a week or so ago, and I see the same behavior now ("BadCoefficients" and a flat line in the last plot). Try lowering the order of the Butterworth filter to order=6.
Warren
Cheers,
Ariel

I posted an example low-pass filtering using 'butter' and 'lfilter' from scipy.signal here:
