It silently fails outside the loop, when the list of splitted rows is converted into an array: if one row has a different length than the others, a "Creating array from a sequence" error occurs but we can't tell where the problem is (because np.array does not tell us). _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
