[Numpy-discussion] ignore NAN in numpy.true_divide()

[Xavier Barthelemy]

Hi,
I don't know if it is the best choice, but this is what I do in my code:

for each slice:
  indexnonNaN=np.isfinite(SliceOf Toto)
  SliceOf TotoWithoutNan= SliceOf Toto [indexnonNaN]

and then perform all operation I want o on the last array.

i hope it does answer your question

Xavier
