The problem is due to the use of an older API in type conversion. I think I can provide a fix in a few minutes. The compare function is type-specific and works for strings but requires the same length string for each argument. It is defined as part of the PyArray_Descr object (defined in arraytypes.inc.src). It may be possible to not require contiguous arrays, but that is a separate issue. -Travis O. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
