I'm not so sure. I know I wouldn't expect to get a different type back with a call to abs(). Do we really want to change that expectation just for the case of MIN_INT? While everyone is going to want an unsigned value when calling abs(), who knows if they might want to use negative numbers later? Like: x = abs(x) x *= -1 Now what do we get/want? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
