Similar situation here. Been Matlab-free for about ten years, but my new employer ... I started looking at the code, and my stomach sank when I first read if (nargin = 1) Oh, it hurts!! On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 4:41 PM, Benjamin Root wrote: > @Josh: Awesome name. Very fitting... > > Another

[Numpy-discussion] Data file format choice.

2009-01-30 Thread Gary Pajer
It's time for me to select a data format. My data are (more or less) spectra ( a couple of thousand samples), six channels, each channel running around 10 Hz, collecting for a minute or so. Plus all the settings on the instrument. I don't see any significant differences between netCDF4 and HDF5.

[Numpy-discussion] data exchange format

2008-05-20 Thread Gary Pajer
I want to store data in a way that can be read by a C or Matlab program. Not too much data, not too complicated: a dozen or so floats, a few integers, a few strings, and a (3, x) numpy array where typically 500 < x < 3. I was about to create my own format for storage when it occurred to me t

[Numpy-discussion] data type specifications

2008-01-22 Thread Gary Pajer
Occasionally I find myself poking into docstrings and googling randomly trying to find the proper way to specify a data type, or trying to remind myself just what a "float" is. I can never find the info easily. Preferable: Is there a docstring somewhere that lists the data types and acceptable

[Numpy-discussion] Installing from egg ?

2007-06-03 Thread Gary Pajer
Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I'm starting to install things using easy_install. I'm very new at this, and it's not going well. python 2.5 / WinXP (and Kubuntu, but we'll start with Windows) if I type easy_install numpy stuff downloads, but stops with a prompt to select a compiler by pas
