Are you sure? This is what I get:

In [11]: x = arrayrange(-4.,2.+.001,.001, Float)

In [12]: x >= -2. & x < 0.

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

?

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'float' and 'float'


That's why I suggested logical_and() as a workaround. But maybe I'm missing 
something.
