[SciPy-user] numpy.sum and generator expressions

Hi I have a lot of code that uses numpy.sum with generator expressions: import numpy as N a = sum(i for i in xrange(3)) Of course the generator expressions are a little more involved than that. With numpy 0.9.8 this works as expected: In [1]: import numpy as N In [2]: N.sum(i for i in range(3)) Out[2]: 3 but with 1.0b4 I get: In [14]: N.sum(i for i in range(3)) Out[14]: <generator object at 0x2aaaae5e3248> Is this the (new?) expected bahaviour, or is it a bug? I hope for the latter, since I use generators like this quite a bit... Thanks Neilen -- you know its kind of tragic we live in the new world but we've lost the magic -- Battery 9 (www.battery9.co.za)
