What is wrong with this

[nure123]

Hi,

I am new to Python and would be grateful if anyone could tell me what
is wrong with the following statement.

Y=array([1/S, 0*lam])

where
S=[1, 2, 3, 4]
lam=[5, 6, 7, 8]

I am using Numeric not the NumPy and the original module in which this
statement appears is supposed to be working perfectly fine since an
executable based on that module is working fine ( I may be wrong if
the original author derived his executable file from a version of
module other than the one whose code is distributed)

Thanks,

Nure

I get an error like 'inconsistent shape in sequence.' I changed it to
Y=array([1/S, zeros(len(lam))])

it works fine. But I am still interested in knowing why did the
original programmer did not get any error whereas I got an error with
the statement : Y=array([1/S, 0*lam])

TypeError: only length-1 arrays can be converted to Python scalars.

Hi All,

Could anybody tell me what is the problem with the following sequence
with which I always get the above error message. I use Numeric and
Python 2.4

x=array([1,2,3,4])
y=exp(x)
