numarray

[bruce]

robert....

i did an
 python>>> import numpy
     a = array([['q','a'],['w','e']])

and it didn't work...

i used
  >>from import numpy *

and it seems to accept the 'array' word.. .looks like it will work...

what's the difference between 'import numpy', and "from import numpy *"

comments...

thanks

-bruce

Never just say "I got an error." It tells us nothing. Copy-and-paste the
exact
error message. I presume, however, that you installed numpy, not numarray.
They
are not the same thing.

No, it replaces numarray.

 >>> from numpy import *
 >>> a = array([['some', 'strings'],['in an', 'array']], dtype=object)
 >>> a
array([[some, strings],
        [in an, array]], dtype=object)
