[Numpy-discussion] test failure: Ticket 396

[Robin]

Hello,

Just thought I'd report this test failure with current svn (rev 4464)
on Mac OS X 10.5 (could be a leopard issue?) since I hadn't seen it
mentioned before.
Oddly it only seems to fail in ipython, importing and running from the
normal python interpreter all the tests pass.

Actually, it only seems to fail when I start ipython with
ipython -p scipy
I haven't been able to recreate the problem with any other combination
of startup and imports.

Here is my ipythonrc-scipy:
# load our basic configuration with generic options
include ipythonrc

# import ...
# Load Numpy an SciPy by themselves so that 'help' works on them
import_mod numpy scipy

# from ... import ...
import_some

# Now we load all of SciPy
# from ... import *
import_all numpy
import_all scipy

Here is the error:
