When they go to clean up after themselves, they fail. A workaround would be to make numpy.memmap.__del__ more robust and do nothing if ._mmap isn't present. A real fix would be to figure out how to make sure that "memmap+memmap", etc., make ndarray instances rather than memmap instances. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
