Please ask these questions on scipy-user. http://www.scipy.org/Mailing_Lists Recent SVN revisions of numpy.linalg should treat matrix objects sensibly. The scipy.linalg functions still need similar treatment. Patches are welcome. >>>> matrix( .. ) + n > > does not give the same as > >>>> array( .. ) + n. > > Trying to compute the determinant of a matrix m > >>>> det(m) > > my computer resets IDLE and I get an error messages. You can enter a bug ticket in our Trac after registering. We will need to know what version of scipy and numpy you are using and the exact error messages that you are seeing. http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
