Thanks Chris,
If this got fixed towards numarray version 1.5.1 it looks like
it is now on both Linux and Mac
different(!) from the numpy result I got on Window !!
On Linux I get:
>>> import numpy as N
>>> N.__version__
'0.9.9.2823'
>>> bbb=N.zeros((2,3,3), N.float32)
>>> bbb[0,:,:]=1
>>> bbb[1,:,:]=2
>>> bbb
[[[ 1.  1.  1.]
  [ 1.  1.  1.]
  [ 1.  1.  1.]]

 [[ 2.  2.  2.]
  [ 2.  2.  2.]
  [ 2.  2.  2.]]]
>>> ccc=N.transpose(bbb,(1,0,2))
>>> d=N.array([[1,0],[0,1]])
>>> d
[[1 0]
 [0 1]]
>>> N.dot(d,ccc)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: array cannot be safely cast to required type
>>> dd=d.astype(N.float32)
>>> N.dot(dd,ccc)
[[[ 1.  1.  1.]
  [ 1.  1.  1.]
  [ 1.  1.  1.]]

 [[ 2.  2.  2.]
  [ 2.  2.  2.]
  [ 2.  2.  2.]]]
>>> 


The TypeError looks like a numpy bug !

Thanks,
Sebastian Haase
