Hi, The latest svn version of numpy seems to be causing a segmentation fault when converting an array containing strings to floats using .astype(). It only seems to happen when converting 'from' strings. Casting between numerical types and 'to' strings is no problem.
:yves $ python -c "import numpy as N; print N.__version__; a = N.asarray('2'); a.astype(float);print 'OK';" 0.9.9.2844 Segmentation fault An older version of numpy (the one I used before this upgrade) works perfectly though: :yves $ python -c "import numpy as N; print N.__version__; a = N.asarray('2'); a.astype(float);print 'OK';" 0.9.9.2655 OK Cheers, YVES ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
