[Numpy-discussion] Failing to understand vectorize behavior

[David Huard]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble understanding the behavior of vectorize on the following
example:

>>> import string
>>> from numpy import vectorize

>>> vstrip = vectorize(string.strip)
>>> s = ['  aaaaaaaaaaaaaa  ' , ' bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb  ', '
cccccccccccccccccc ']
>>> vstrip(s)
array(['aaaaaaaa', 'bbbbbbbb', 'cccccccc'],
      dtype='|S8')

where all strings are cropped to 8 characters.
Is this expected ?


Thanks,

David
