Hey there, I don't see anything called "LinearAlgegra.eigenvectors()". Do you maybe mean numpy.linalg.eig? Which version of numpy are you using? The latest release is 1.0b5.
>>> import numpy >>> numpy.__version__ '1.0b5' >>> numpy.linalg.eig([[2,1],[1,2]]) (array([ 3., 1.]), array([[ 0.70710678, -0.70710678], [ 0.70710678, 0.70710678]])) I'm on WindowsXP, though.
