[SciPy-User] frequency components of a signal buried in a noisy time domain signal

[Ivo Maljevic]

I am sorry guys, but the solution I've proposed, and the one that was
proposed by the scipy camp would cause confusion for those who switch from
Matlab, and I just checked that.
If you are going to use the same name as the Matlab one, than this function
should return the m such that 2**m >= abs(n), and should not return 2^m.

Whatever approach you guys want to use (and I believe that especially given
what the function should return), do not return 2**m, but just m instead.
For example:

>>> def nextpow2(n):
...   return np.ceil(np.log2(n))
...
>>> m=nextpow2(1000)
>>> m
10.0
>>> 2**m
1024.0
