Hi,

I was followong the tutorial about numpy's basics and found a little 
error here : 
http://www.scipy.org/Tentative_NumPy_Tutorial#head-aa75ec76530ff51a2e98071adb7224a4b793519e

(n, bins) = numpy.histogram(v, bins=50, normed=1)  # NumPy version (no plot)
should be :
(n, bins) = numpy.histogram(v, bins=50, normed=True)

since in the 'new' version of histogram, the normed var is explicitly 
tested as a boolean (in numpy/lib/function_base.py line 380):
if normed is False:
...
elif normed is True:
...

Cheers

Gaston
