Hi David and Josef, OK, I updated to numpy-1.4.1 and scipy-0.7.2 and this problem went away. Thanks for your help. BTW, trying to upgrade using the .dmg files from Sourceforge didn't work. It kept saying that it needed System Python 2.6 even though Python 2.6 is already installed. In fact, it was

Hi Josef, I did the same test, namely opening a new window and plugging in the printout values by hand and polyfit worked just fine. Here's the terminal output: >>> import numpy as n >>> y = n.array([ 864., 865., 866., 867., 868.]) >>> a = n.array([ 5.24860191, 6.0217514 , 6.11434555, 6.09

I have a question about creation of numpy arrays from a list of objects, which bears on the Quantities project and also on masked arrays: >>> import quantities as pq >>> import numpy as np >>> a, b = 2*pq.m,1*pq.s >>> np.array([a, b]) array([ 12., 1.]) Why doesn't that create an object array? S

I'm trying to do a simple 2nd degree polynomial fit to two arrays of 5 entries. I get a runtime error: RuntimeError: more argument specifiers than keyword list entries (remaining format:'|:calc_lwork.gelss') in the lstsq module inside numpy.polyfit. Here's the code snippet: def findPeak(self, yde
