[Numpy-discussion] NumPy-Discussion Digest, Vol 83, Issue 3

[Graeme B. Bell]

Pauli,

Thanks very much for investigating this and fixing it. Your patch works perfectly for me. :) 

Runtests.py now automatically uses "NumPy version 1.8.0.dev-af12c09". 
The only comment I have is that the line number patched was different on my copy (line 192).

Perhaps we can add  "run  'python runtest.py'" to the development workflow page, to guide new contributors?
