I am loading text into an array and would like to convert the values.

I am not sure why degrees() works, but acos() does not.
It is not clear how you know that.
I receive the following
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\ test.py", line 6, in ?
mincos=degrees(acos(float(data[:,0])))
TypeError: only length-1 arrays can be converted to Python scalars
This does not say where in the expression the problem arose. to be sure
a = float(data([:,0])
b = acod(a)
c = degrees(b)
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Numpy questions get better answers on the numpy list where numpy experts
hang out.
