Hi all,

I'm testing some computations with float96 at the moment and right now I have 
problems with polyfit raising a KeyError for the keycode 'g', which is 
floatxx with xx>64. 

I am getting a KeyError using polyfit on some float96 values. The used 
Routines seem to know nothing about this type.

My main question is: have I missed something? Shouldn't this type be used?
Below is a more detailed descripton.

Thanks in advance,
        Jan

In file numpy/linalg/linalg.py, the following definitions at lines 26ff seem 
to be the offending ones:
        # Helper routines
        _array_kind = {'i':0, 'l': 0, 'q': 0, 'f': 0, 'd': 0, 'F': 1, 'D': 1}
        _array_precision = {'i': 1, 'l': 1, 'q': 1, 'f': 0, 'd': 1, 'F': 0, 
'D': 1}
        _array_type = [['f', 'd'], ['F', 'D']]

Here the new typecodes are missing. I tried 
        # Helper routines
        _array_kind = {'i':0, 'l': 0, 'q': 0, 'f': 0, 'd': 0, 'g': '0', 'F': 1, 
                        'D':1, 'G':1}
        _array_precision = {'i': 1, 'l': 1, 'q': 1, 'f': 0, 'd': 1, 'g': 1, 
                        'F': 0, 'D': 1, 'G': 1}
        _array_type = [['f', 'd', 'g'], ['F', 'D', 'G']]

which gets me a step further to a TypeError:

  File "lib/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/linalg/linalg.py", line 454, in 
lstsq
    bstar[:b.shape[0],:n_rhs] = b.copy()
TypeError: array cannot be safely cast to required type


(Question: Why only one typecode for a type which varies in bitlength on 
different platforms? On Opteron CPU's I've seen float128 with 'g'?)
