Using numpy-1.0.2/python-2.5/winxp pro sp2: in the following, the only
array is 'a', and I'm not using it as an index, so why do I get the
IndexError below?
--- start python session ---
>>> a=array([[1,3],[2,4]])
>>> a
array([[1, 3],
[2, 4]])
>>> f=lambda i,j: a[i,j]
>>> f(1,1)
4
>>> fromfunction(f,(2,2))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\numeric.py", line 514,
in fromfunction
return function(*args,**kwargs)
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <lambda>
IndexError: arrays used as indices must be of integer (or boolean) type
--- end python session ---
The upstream maple is written in 'fromfunction' style, and I have no
control over that but want to port it to python in the most natural way
possible.
The session suggests that lambda has no trouble with an array, so the
problem seems to be related to the way 'fromfunction' works. What am I
missing?
Thanks!
