+1 for the latter suggestion - if the array shape is available it's a great help in debugging the error. An alternative wording could be: IndexError: Index 3 is out of bounds for axis 0 of an array of shape (3,2,4) -Dave _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
