[SciPy-User] raising a matrix to float power

[Alexey Brazhe]

Hi,
I failed to find a way to raise a matrix to a non-integer power in
numpy/scipy

In Octave/Matlab, one would write M^0.5 to get the result
whereas in numpy
>>> maxtrix(M, 0.5)
raises the "TypeError: exponent must be an integer"

Is there a way to do matrix exponentiation to non-integer powers in numpy or
scipy?

Hope the answer is positive :)
