[Numpy-discussion] searchsorted bug

[lorenzo bolla]

from docstring in multiarraymodule.c

/** @brief Use bisection of sorted array to find first entries >= keys.
 *
 * For each key use bisection to find the first index i s.t. key <= arr[i].
 * When there is no such index i, set i = len(arr). Return the results in
ret.
 * All arrays are assumed contiguous on entry and both arr and key must be
of    <-----
 * the same comparable type. <-----
 *
 * @param arr contiguous sorted array to be searched.
 * @param key contiguous array of keys.
 * @param ret contiguous array of intp for returned indices.
 * @return void
 */
static void
local_search_left(PyArrayObject *arr, PyArrayObject *key, PyArrayObject
*ret)

In particular:

 * All arrays are assumed contiguous on entry and both arr and key must be
of    <-----
 * the same comparable type. <-----

A and B are not of the same type ('|S2' is not '|S1').
This should be mentioned somewhere more accessible.
