[SciPy-user] More on problems calling scipy.special.sph_harm

[Rick Muller]

Did a little detective work today. It looks like the crash is  
happening in the scipy.special.lpmn function.

BTW, I'm running on a Macintosh (OS X 10.4), python 2.3.5, scipy 0.3.2.


In [1]: from scipy.special import lpmn

In [4]: for l in range(4):
    ...:     for m in range(l+1):
    ...:         print l,m
    ...:         plm = lpmn(m,l,0.1)
    ...:
0 0
