Sturia, > Change the name of keyword arguments? > This would be evil. Yes, I see this now. It is really a shame these were defined as keyword arguments. I've shown the docstring to a few people and so far they all agree that it is unnecessarily convoluted.

[Numpy-discussion] linalg.norm probems

2015-03-03 Thread Charles R Harris
Hi All, This is with reference to issue #5626 . Currently linalg.norm converts the input like so `x = asarray(x)`. This can produce integer arrays, which in turn may create problems of overflow, or the failure of the abs functions for minimum values of
