In [1]: from numpy import *
In [2]: x = array([[ 1., 5., 25., 125., 625.]])
In [3]: y = array([[ 1024.],
...: [ 1280.],
...: [ 640.],
...: [ 160.],
...: [ 20.]])
In [4]: dot(x, y)
Out[4]: array([[ 55924.]])
In [5]: sum(x * y.T)
Out[5]: 55924.0
It works for me with a recent SVN numpy on OS X. What version of numpy are you
using? What platform are you on? Did you build with ATLAS or other optimized
linear algebra library?
