This was the line causing the type error.  t is type double (float64).  'f' makes x be type float32.  That causes the assignment below to fail.  Replacing that line with

     x=zeros(len(t),'d')

should work.  Or the zeros_like() that Travis suggested.

You could also use
   idx=where(t>5)
In place of
   idx=(t>5)

Although in this case it probably doesn't make much difference, where(expr) is more directly equivalent to matlab's find(expr).

See http://www.scipy.org/Wiki/NumPy_for_Matlab_Users for more Matlab equivalents.  And consider contributing your own, if you have some good ones that aren't there already.
