I just picked up a problem posted over on the numpy list. I noticed that
from pylab import * is importing the oldnumeric-wrapper versions of
zeros(), ones() and empty(), and presumably other things too, into the
interactive namespace. Shouldn't it be picking up the versions from
numpy's main namespace for interactive use?
I picked this up because I use "ipython -pylab" and noticed that zeros()
etc. was generating integers instead of floats by default.
In ipython:
Welcome to pylab, a matplotlib-based Python environment.
For more information, type 'help(pylab)'.
In [1]: zeros?
Type: function
Base Class: <type 'function'>
String Form: <function zeros at 0x010CA3F0>
Namespace: Interactive
File: c:\python24\lib\site-packages\numpy\oldnumeric\functions.py
Definition: zeros(shape, typecode='l', savespace=0, dtype=None)
Docstring:
zeros(shape, dtype=int) returns an array of the given
dimensions which is initialized to all zeros
In [2]: import numpy as n
In [3]: n.zeros?
Type: builtin_function_or_method
Base Class: <type 'builtin_function_or_method'>
String Form: <built-in function zeros>
Namespace: Interactive
Docstring:
zeros((d1,...,dn),dtype=float,order='C')
Return a new array of shape (d1,...,dn) and type typecode with all
it's entries initialized to zero.
