[Numpy-discussion] numpy1.4 dtype issues: scipy.stats & pytables

[Tim Michelsen]

Hello,
I experienced the following issue with numpy 1.4:

scipy.stats:

Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32

import scipy.stats as st

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\scipy\stats\__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    from stats import *
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\scipy\stats\stats.py", line 203, in <module>
    from morestats import find_repeats #is only reference to scipy.stats
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\scipy\stats\morestats.py", line 7, in <module>
    import distributions
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\scipy\stats\distributions.py", line 27, in
<module>
    import vonmises_cython
  File "numpy.pxd", line 30, in scipy.stats.vonmises_cython
(scipy\stats\vonmises_cython.c:2939)
ValueError: numpy.dtype does not appear to be the correct type object

pytables:

import tables

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\tables\__init__.py", line 56, in <module>
    from tables.utilsExtension import getPyTablesVersion, getHDF5Version
  File "definitions.pxd", line 138, in tables.utilsExtension
ValueError: numpy.dtype does not appear to be the correct type object


Is this an error in numpy or no the other packages require update in the code?

Thanks,
Timmie
