Thanks, but I'm not sure what you mean: In my numpy there is no lstsqr in the 
namespace, if I do 'from numpy import *' (fresh download from svn - I needed 
an upgrade anyway).

Perhaps my English prevents me from being understood here ... Another attempt:
Currently what I'm using is scipy.linalg.lstsq for linear regressions (mostly) 
and scipy.polyfit in other cases. For calculating 'errors' / 'deviations' / 
'uncertainties' of the calculated coefficients the function needs the input 
with errors in x & y, right? Is there any such function in scipy?
