[SciPy-user] execute function on an array elementwise

[Pieter]

Hi,

Thanks for the answers, I think vectorize was the one I was looking
for. My example function was really bad, I'm sorry for that.

I'm actually reading an image and have to convert every pixel value to
an 8 bit vector.

thanks a lot,

Pieter
