[Numpy-discussion] Yet another problem in CVS numarray

[Francesc Altet]

Ups, I've made a cvs update and not luck yet:

>>> import numarray; numarray.__version__
'1.4.2'
>>> import Numeric; Numeric.__version__
'24.1'
>>> num=Numeric.array([1,2,3,4])
>>> numarray.array(num)
array([1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> num2=num[::2]
>>> numarray.array(num2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numarray/numarraycore.py", line 380, 
in array
    a = a.astype(type)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numarray/numarraycore.py", line 867, 
in astype
    return self.copy()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numarray/numarraycore.py", line 927, 
in copy
    c = _gen.NDArray.copy(self)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numarray/generic.py", line 724, in 
copy
    arr._itemsize)
numarray.libnumarray.error: copy4bytes: access beyond buffer. offset=11 
buffersize=8

I've made a rm -rf of old numarray extension, and rebuild everything
from scratch.

Regards,
