[SciPy-user] scipy.io.read_array: NaN in data file

[Erik Granstedt]

Hello,

I am using scipy.io.read_array to read in values from data files to
arrays.  The data files occasionally contain "NaN"s, and I would like
the returned array to also contain "NaN"s.  I've tried calling
read_array with:

scipy.io.read_array(file('read_array_test.dat','r'),missing=float('NaN'))

but this still seems to convert the "NaN"s to 0.0

Is there a way to get it to return "NaN"s in the array instead of
converting them to 0.0 ?

Thanks,

-Erik
