[SciPy-user] read_array problem

[Christoph Scheit]

Hello everybody,

just for curiosity I have a question regarding read_array.
When I use the scipy.io read_array function I observe
some behaviour which I don't understand...

First I call the function like this:

self.varVector = read_array(f, columns=cols, lines=((0, 0 + bsize), ))

with cols = ((1,3), )
bsize = 5832
and I get an exception:
ValueError: Argument lines must be a sequence of integers and/or range tuples.

Calling now read_array like this

self.varVector = read_array(f, columns=cols, lines=((0, 0 + 5832), ))

works fine to my surprise...
cols is here the same like before.

Thanks in advance,

Christoph
