[Numpy-discussion] Does numpy.bincount support numpy.float128 type weights?

[Wei, Huayi]

Hi, There,

Here is a sample code using `numpy.bincount`

     import numpy as np
     a = np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], dtype=np.float128)
     b = np.array([1, 2, 0], dtype=np.int)
     c = np.bincount(b, weights=a)

If run it, I get the following error report:

     ----> 1 c = np.bincount(b, weights=a)
     TypeError: Cannot cast array data from dtype('float128') to 
dtype('float64') according to the rule 'safe'

Is it a bug of `np.bincount`? Does there exist any similar function 
which I can use to do the similar thing with numpy.float128 type weights?

Best

Huayi
