[SciPy-User] scipy.linalg.det TypeError

[David Goldsmith]

Uncertain why you're having a problem - your sample code works for me:

>>> import scipy.linalg
>>> import numpy.linalg
>>> A=np.matrix([[1.1, 1.9],[1.9,3.5]])
>>> y = numpy.linalg.det(A); y
0.23999999999999988
>>> y = scipy.linalg.det(A); y
0.23999999999999988
>>> scipy.__version__
'0.7.1'
>>> np.__version__
'1.3.0rc2'
