You should always post at least the part of the traceback that shows the
line that's throwing the exception. In this case:

  x,y = asarray(x, y)

I don't understand why anyone ever thought that would work, but it's
fixed now in SVN. x and y should both be rank-1 arrays, possibly of
different lengths.
