Package: python-numpy Version: 1:1.0.1-1 Severity: minor Hello,
When a Masked Array wants to give a normal array, it doesn't seem to produce numpy arrays, but something else: $ python Python 2.4.4 (#2, Jan 13 2007, 18:15:24) [GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import MA, numpy >>> a = MA.array([1,2,3,4,5]) >>> a.filled().ravel() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? AttributeError: ravel >>> b = numpy.array([1,2,3,4,5]) >>> b.ravel() array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) >>> Of course I can get a numpy array out of a.filled(): >>> numpy.array(a.filled()).ravel() array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) but this makes it very hard to explain (and to understand) what is an 'array' for Python/Numpy and how it's supposed to behave.
