I'm seeing: In [7]: res = np.array((2**31,), dtype=np.float32) In [9]: res > (2**31-1) Out[9]: array([ True], dtype=bool) In [10]: res[0] Out[10]: 2.1474836e+09 In [11]: res[0] > (2**31-1) Out[11]: True Your result seems very strange, because the numpy scalars should perform exactly the same inside and outside an array.
