Hello- I see from this thread: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/18746/
that searchsorted does not work correctly with strings. Is there a workaround, though, that I can use with 1.0.4 until there is a new official numpy release that includes the fix mentioned in the reference above? Using the latest SVN version is not an option for me. My understanding was that searchsorted works OK if the strings are all the same data type, but that does not appear to be the case: p >>> x=array(['0', '1', '2', '12']) p >>> y=array(['0', '0', '2', '3', '123']) p >>> x.searchsorted(y) array([0, 0, 0, 2, 0]) p >>> x.astype(y.dtype).searchsorted(y) array([0, 0, 2, 4, 2]) I understand that the first call to searchsorted fails because y has type S3 and x has type S2. But it seems that changing the type of x produces still incorrect (albeit) different results. Is there something similar I can do to make this work for now? Thanks very much. -Lewis _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
