Can't work: "not" works on booleans, not on arrays, and np.isnan  
returns a ndarray of booleans. You end up raising a ValueError  
exception:
 >>>  x = np.array([1,np.nan,3.])
 >>> not np.isnan(x)
ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is  
ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()

Just use np.logical_not.
