ImportError for scipy.xplt

Hi all,

I have a problem with importing the xplt part of scipy:

Python 2.4.1 (#2, Apr  2 2005, 04:26:17)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-12)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from scipy.xplt import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy_base/ppimport.py", line 303, in 
__getattr__
    module = self._ppimport_importer()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy_base/ppimport.py", line 258, in 
_ppimport_importer
    raise ImportError,self.__dict__.get('_ppimport_exc_info')[1]
ImportError: Array can not be safely cast to required type
>>>   

Importing other parts of scipy works fine (from scipy.integrate import *).

This happens on Debian Sarge (AMD64) with scipy-0.3.2 under python-2.4.1 and 
python-2.3.5

Has anybody experienced the same or a solution?

Thanks,
Frank

How to make the matrix include variable "x"

I'm trying to use SciPy module.

Is it possble to make the following Matrix using SciPy ?

  A(x) = (x**0 x**1 x**2 ).

I tried in Python with SciPy
  	>> from scipy import *
	>> x0 = 10; x1 = 8; x2 = 3
	>> print mat('[x0; x1; x2]')
	Matrix([[0],
	       [1],
	       [2]])
. I expected the answer 
  Matrix([[10],
         [8],
         [3]])
but it didn't work well.

When mat() is interpreting a string, it doesn't evaluate variables. In
this case, it's ignoring the 'x' characters.

You want

mat([[x0], [x1], [x2]])

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, but it doesn't seem relevant for 
what you do below.

You probably meant to do:

print mat([x0, x1, x2])

Your first error was putting the quotes '...' and your second error was the 
semicolons. I think that comes from a column vector notation in matlab but 
I'm not sure.

install problems

There are ATLAS libraries installed on the system that are incompatible
with the scipy install.  I have built my own ATLAS/LAPACK libraries but
how do I block setup.py from looking in /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib?  I
have tried setting $BLAS and $LAPACK, but that doesn't help.  I still
get Import Errors with the wrong library listed.

Any help is appreciated.

Try editing scipy_core/scipy_distutils/sample_site.cfg and save it as 
site.cfg. Also, if you are not installing from CVS, you need to edit six 
lines in system_info.py, in that same directory, starting at line #285

         try:
             f = __file__
         except NameError,msg:
             f = sys.argv[0]
         cf = os.path.join(os.path.split(os.path.abspath(f))[0],
                           'site.cfg')

hope this helps,
Darren

Thanks, that blocked setup.py from getting the wrong libs but nothing I
do seems to get scipy installed.

I had to modify site.cfg:
[DEFAULT]

Install problem using windows binaries.

Hi, 

I am a newbie. I have an install problem.
I am using Win XP, on a celeron 1.2 Ghz.
I just tested the install I got from the binaries section ( Windows
Binaries, PIII on python 2.2.x at http://www.scipy.org/download/)
I have looked at the files that are not found (see below), yet they
are there. What did I do wrong ? Thank you in advance,

Igor.

These are just informational warnings saying that there are no tests for 
these particular modules. Ignore them.

The "tested" part might be stretching it a little.  ;-)

We're working on being able to call it "tested", though.  And I will fix 
problems that get reported.
