numpy.abs() is not exported via "from numpy import *", which is where numpy.matlib gets all of its non-overridden functions from. It is not exported because it conflicts with the builtin abs(). Of course, absolute() is preferred for the same reason, and numpy.matlib.absolute() does exist. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
