I'm a newbie to python. Can anyone tell me why the following little
program complains about incorrect dimensions?
<snip>
import pylab
from pylab import *
n = 10; m = 2*n;
A = randn(m,n);
b = A*rand(n,1) + 2*rand(m,1);
</snip>
The actual error I receive is,
<snip>
b = A*rand(n,1) + 2*rand(m,1);
ValueError: shape mismatch: objects cannot be broadcast to a single
shape
</snip>
This is supposed to be doing a matrix multply of an (m,n)(n,1). This
results in an (m,1). This should then be able to be added to the
2*rand(m,1), but, its not for some reason.
Ideas?
You will want to ask numpy questions on the numpy mailing list (preferably with
a subject line a bit more informative with respect to the actual problem). http://www.scipy.org/Mailing_Lists
In this case, the problem is that * does not do matrix multiplication; it does
element-wise multiplication. Use dot(A, randn(n,1)) instead.

Hi,
I've gone through the list of "language differences" between 2.3 / 2.4
& 2.5 of CPython. I've spend around 2 weeks now, learning v2.5 of
CPython, and I consider myself still very very newbie. So, unable to
take a call as to how-important or desirable the newer language
features are -- so whether to write my app for v2.5 of Python, versus,
as few others on this list have recommended, i.e. to stick to v2.3 ??
Are the preformance...

Hi all - Sorry to plague you with another newbie question from a
lurker. Hopefully, this will be simple.
I have a list full of RGB pixel values read from an image. I want to
test each RGB band value per pixel, and set it to something else if it
meets or falls below a certain threshold - i.e., a Red value of 0
would be changed to 50.
I've built my list by using a Python Image Library statement akin to

I am a newbie trying to learn the DOM. Can someone tell me why the
first alert statement returns null, and the second returns the value
33px (which was set using the style="top:33px;" in the DIV tag).
Why doesn't the first alert statement pick up the style.left attribute
from the CSS?

Hi all!
This is most certainly a total newbie question, but why doesn't the
following code cause a segfault?

{
int i;
for (i=0; i < length; i++)
{
int j, v = a;

Sorry for this newbie question, this is not my realm of expertese.
I have searched google, tried several applications that claim they can do this, such as Mapforce, which I found confusing, to Oxygen, to HTML kit, et cetera.
I am more confused than ever.
here's my quandry.
I was sent a file and told that we need to get the data into a more readable form.
I've tried using apps to pull it in, but it's not displaying properly.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
