Hi,

This is with numpy 1.6.1 under Linux x86_64, testing the upcast mechanism of
"scalar + array":

>>> import numpy; print (numpy.array(3, dtype=numpy.complex128) +
numpy.ones(3, dtype=numpy.float32)).dtype
complex64

Since it has to upcast my array (float32 is not "compatible enough" with
complex128), why does it upcast it to complex64 instead of complex128?
As far as I can tell 1.4.x and 1.5.x versions of numpy are indeed upcasting
to complex128.

Thanks,

-=- Olivier
