[Matrix-SIG] ValueError: object too deep for desired array (??)

[Heather Drury]

Hi,

I'm getting the following error on trying to do an array copy:

 File "volume.py", line 50, in __init__
    self.VoxData3D [:, :, :] = data.astype ('b')

ValueError: Object too deep for desired array

The relevant code is shown below ("data" is the input array", 
which in this case is 256x256x256):

	self.xdim = data.shape [2]
	self.ydim = data.shape [1]
	self.zdim = data.shape [0]
	self.VoxData3D = zeros ((self.zdim, self.ydim, self.xdim), 'b')
        self.VoxData3D [:, :, :] = data.astype ('b')
        self.VoxData = ravel (self.VoxData3D)

I can't seem to find anything in the doc about this...and since I'm 
allocating the space with the "zeros" command, I don't understand
why the object is "too deep". 

Any ideas?

Heather
